Great to see Forest School blooming in Canada! Love the point about the importance of allowing discomfort, so important for resilience! P.S. Beautiful Yurt!
Ooh, yes, like that pondering...At 8:01 I appreciate that Marlene said: play can be in a puddle. What we enjoyed when visiting deserts or nature was the bouldering, where our child could practice taking risks. I think risk taking is a big part of this forest schooling yes? Our child figured out: What works for me? What is too big of a risk? Our kids felt empowered: competent, capable and curious anywehre, even without a forest.
