Being a parent is demanding. Navigating parenthood is a fine art and continuous juggling act that will never end. That’s the privilege we have raising children.

 We all want the best for our children that’s’ for sure. What are the keys to raising a healthy child? How do we help create independent children ready to take on the world with physical health and mental resilience?

These are the questions that many parents are trying to answer and there is many factors involved.

In the modern world it’s all too easy to pass the children technology or toys to entertain. But how does this develop the body and mind?  Yes there are many educational toys and games to develop your child. However, we are in danger of substituting this for time in nature with children. In the wild nature develops a child’s inner spirit. In fact, just being outdoors in all weathers creates an inner resilience that can be observed watching children who spend time outside vs those who don’t. In woodland they must learn how to navigate roots, sticks, ditches and run on uneven ground developing balance and posture. Sticks take on a huge variety of games stimulating a child’s imagination and creativity. PLUS – Any parents will know, a child who has been outdoors all day WILL sleep. EVERYONES A WINNER.

At Commando Kids we teach children key outdoor skills in a safe and natural environment. We allow them to make fire under our guidance, we give them tasks to develop their fine motor skills. This increases a child’s ability to manage and understand risk exposing them in safe and controlled environments.

This year we will be launching programs for families so they can have budding adventures together. Keep an eye out for upcoming family adventures.
