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’ve not heard that quote before but I absolutely love it! It can be so scary to step back and let our children take risks but I agree that we have to let them do it, to let them learn to assess situations and handle setbacks. x
Mammas School
I totally agree. I love it is by Roald Dahl!

So true. I just need to be better at it! My husband and I are trying not to say, “Be careful!” But to say, “look where you are going as there are lots of tree roots” instead.
Mammas School
As, it is thinking of the alternatives before “be careful” pops out!

So true! I just wish my eldest wasn’t so nervous and would take risks, she won’t even climb a tree in fear she may fall. My youngest however is more of a try it and see.
Mammas School
Our eldest never used to take risks but her younger twin brothers have taught her well!

This is so true. I try to allow my son some varying levels of risk as I believe its the best way for him to learn. If we didn’t let them take risks once in a while, we’re not being very good teachers are we?
Mammas School
Indeed, but I have a feeling it is my double trouble teaching me not the other way round!!!

I had never looked at it this way before, but it is completely true. Maybe I need to give my little ones a bit more free reign
Mammas School
It is a tough one as a parent, but I am on a very steep learning curve

Totally agree, I saw a quote once about Children not needing to be as safe as possible, but just as safe as they need to be. Risk is important in everything.
Mammas School
So true 🙂

I hadn’t heard that particular Roald Dahl quote before, but it’s so true! I couldn’t agree more.
Mammas School
It is a great one isn’t it

I agree, we need to allow children to take risks so they can learn and grow
