For most parents and other caregivers, summer is by far the best season to connect kids with nature. The weather’s nice, and the youngsters are out of

time. Here are a few tips to help you along the way:

Nature is all around us. 37 For small kids, there’s likely plenty in the backyard, courtyard, or schoolyard. National parks are great, but kids foster a deep connection with nature close to home!

38 Don’t worry too much about what to do once you arrive at your nature-rich destination. What kids really need is free time to engage all their senses and use their imaginations.

You can learn too. What counts is simply to get out there, show that you value the outdoors, and be ready to have fun. 39 In fact, it is not necessary for you to know anything at all about science or nature. And remember, questions are more powerful than answers anyway!

Sit back and watch your kids learn. Don’t be too much of a helicopter parent, always saying “no”. Instead, try to spare more time to stay with your kids when necessary.

40 And let kids take some risks. Most of us climbed trees, played with sticks, and got muddy as kids — and we lived to tell the story. The nature connection is a contact sport, and both kids and nature can take it!

No matter the weather or time of day you can have an adventure together with your kids. Alright, get those kids outside, into nature, making their own discoveries!

A. Allow your kids to be kids.

B. It’s okay not to have a plan.

C. Pay close attention to your kids.

D. Parents often take time off as well.

E. You don’t need to be an expert on nature.

F. You typicall y don’t have to go far to find nature.

G. Sometimes it is necessary to turn to experts for advice.

Mary had feared the day she would draw a blank during a presentation. Then one day during a 45-minute speech, it happened. 36 . To help herself get back on track, Mary asked the audience to look at the handout and tell her what topic was up next. At the end of her presentation, audience members gave her top marks for organization.

“What I learned is that the audience doesn’t care if you mess up, and what they care about is what you are going to do about it,”Mary said. “My nervousness went away when I concentrated not on myself, but just thought,

‘How is my speech going to help the audience?’37 . Every single step of the way, ask yourself, ‘What’s in it for them?’”
