Esplorazioni in natura con bambini piccoli

This is exactly "the book" we would have liked to have available to encourage us to go hiking with our children, spending more time outdoors. We think that the family is like a hiking team, regardless of the amount of time spent outside, where the well-being of all members of the group is fundamental to having a beautiful day in nature. Parents have the role of real hiking guides for their children and their job is to ensure safety, bring meaning, teach sustainable behaviors and raise awareness of the world. This manual is much more than a simple description of useful equipment. We tell you how to explore the natural environment safely, with proper planning and preparation. We have taken into consideration every aspect of the day spent outdoors with babies, children and young hikers (0 to 4 years old), including breaks, meals and needs. The book also suggests how to enrich the experience of nature with meaning, through a positive and collaborative attitude, offering both parents and children tools to stay motivated, have fun and connect with each other. The book also explains how to deal with nights out with children during multi-day excursions and the changes to make when a little brother or sister joins the team, or when traveling in groups with multiple children. In each chapter there are short information boxes with the authors' suggestions and personal experience. Curiosities and useful aspects related to hiking with children are reported.
