Every parent should read this article. When my son was younger, he is now 22, we would play a game where he would give me directions on how to return home, go to his grandparent house (which was 20+ miles from where we lived) and other places we frequented often.
Well thought out. We have become ‘indoor people’ and don’t take the time to teach our children these things often. Being a suburban child has it’s obvious disadvantages. Thanks for the article!
Love this. I similarly just made a list of things on my blog I think we need to teach our children. I’ll definitely be following your blog to learn more!
