b'So you listened to episode 58 and you\\u2019re convinced of the https://yourparentingmojo.com/outdoor/ (benefits of outdoor play). But you\\u2019re a grown-up. You don\\u2019t play outdoors. And you don\\u2019t know anything about nature. How can you possibly get started in helping your child to play outdoors more?\\nThere are a number of books out there on getting outside with children \\u2013 some arguably more well-known than this one, but I have to say that Dr. Scott Sampson\\u2019s book How to Raise a Wild Child is the BEST book I\\u2019ve seen on this topic because it balances just the right amount of information on why it\\u2019s important to get outside, with just enough pointers on how to do it, without overwhelming you with hundreds of options to choose between. And it turns out that you don\\u2019t need to know a thing at all about The Environment to have a successful outing with children!\\nIf you\\u2019ve been wishing you could get outdoors more but just don\\u2019t know where to start, then this episode \\u2013 and book! \\u2013 are for you.\\n\\nOther shows referenced in this episode\\nhttps://yourparentingmojo.com/outdoor/ (058: What are the benefits of outdoor play?)\\n \\nReferences\\nGopnik, A.
