My name is Sonia, and I am Mamma to our little lady (9), and my twin mini men (6). We are following our dreams living abroad in Sweden. We love having outdoor adventures and learning about nature. The name Mamma’s School came about when we decided to home educate when we were living in the UK. Now we continue to learn through nature and the outdoors here in Sweden, as well as using their schooling system. The aim of the blog is to help to connect people to the outdoors and nature, give ideas and tips for outdoors adventures, as well as to teach people why outdoors and nature are so vital to us all.

I love this! More kids need to spend more time exploring nature. If they did, the education system would see a huge shift in behaviour.

Yes, and I believe they would also see a decline in behavioural issue diagnosis’ too…we label a lot, but could some of the issues be prevented by allowing for more play and being children….I think so!

Love this quote so much I agree play is so important and teaches children pretty much everything they need to know about life!
Mammas School
It does teach them some much and needs more recognition for it’s value

Children’s play years are so short these days, they really do need to make the most of it!

I agree! One of the reasons we moved to Sweden where school starts later and has shorter days

This is so true, we also think it’s important for children to be bored as well, as it forces them to be creative and entertain themselves. This is when my mummy finds me playing on me own and creating epic stories!
Mammas School
Yes being bored is very important and my three also make up their best stories to play to when they are bored 🙂
Kira

Playtime is super important! What do you suggest to make playtime with mommy and daddy a much more enriching experience?
Mammas School
Let them lead it most definitely!! I am one for more unstructured play and leaving them to it, and allowing them time to do it. But if as parents we are involved remember it is their games and ideas, and follow their lead…..I have to really bite my tongue to stop suggestions popping out, but this is their game and what they excel at 🙂 We need to remember it is their imaginative play.
