I forget that I sometime think like and adult and a walk mean a walk lol) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100282309030066377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406148670453203403.post-56564812374193704322013-10-08T22:06:29.849-03:002013-10-08T22:06:29.849-03:00I think when I started I was doing walks that were...I think when I started I was doing walks that were too long and difficult for their age. (like here, lol: http://plouffes.blogspot.ca/2013/06/adventures-in-nature.html) I've learned to be more sensitive to how they're feeling. Mostly I want to leave them wanting more. :)Education is a Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630031813554150232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406148670453203403.post-29031133313868672062013-10-08T07:47:41.636-03:002013-10-08T07:47:41.636-03:00Thank you Maryanna, yes sunglasses and hats are a ...Thank you Maryanna, yes sunglasses and hats are a must!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100282309030066377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406148670453203403.post-79189572758063845602013-10-08T02:16:57.228-03:002013-10-08T02:16:57.228-03:00Your tips are spot on!

One time we thought we were on a 2-3 mile trail--I was 11 and had 5 younger siblings, the youngest one was carried in a baby backpack by my mom...it turned out to be closer to 10 miles and it took us over 5 hours of hiking to get back to our car. All of us kids totally thought we were lost, and I think even my parents did at times!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406148670453203403.post-5112266453465175232013-10-07T10:42:47.602-03:002013-10-07T10:42:47.602-03:00Yes letting them lead is a great way to see what t...Yes letting them lead is a great way to see what their interests are :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100282309030066377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406148670453203403.post-21224090388471090672013-10-07T10:37:30.841-03:002013-10-07T10:37:30.841-03:00We let them lead so we stop when they stop.

We always know what caught their attention and while that may either make the walk longer..or shorter if we need to head back...I would rather sit in one place and let them focus and play (even though my adult senses tell me there is a lot more stuff to look at down the trail).
