Everyone has a favorite spot. A place where they feel comfortable, a space to think, a place all their own. For many, that space is in nature, with its sounds, smells, and sense of freedom and the chance to move. The place where we can learn about ourselves.But grown-ups aren't the only ones who benefit from the great outdoors. Children also reap the rewards of nature-calmness, curiosity, connectivity, and empathy starting at a young age. I have had the chance to witness this firsthand from Colorado to China. Through my time working in outdoor education, I have seen the good that being outdoors can do for kids. Whether it's breathing in the fresh air, stretching their legs, ordeveloping social-emotional skills, every child deserves the chance to experience nature's benefits.The ability to understand the world around us begins at a very early age. Bringing a young child outdoors instills a sense of curiosity and wonder, teaches problem-solving and effective communication, and helps develop a sense of responsibility. These benefits don't stop with school readiness; they translate into skills your child will carry through life.Each child is different and will profit differently from their time outside. But most important, parents and children should spend the time outside together. I say "parent" as a shorthand for all guardians, grandparents, siblings, or other caregivers. It doesn't matter what role you play in the child's life; what matters is the connection you create by spending time together. Sharing that time together outdoors deepens your bond and creates a lifelong relationship with one another and the greater world.This book will show you creative ways to grow your child's relationship with nature and discover its joys. The activities in these pages require few materials (and those that are necessary are inexpensive items you can find around your home). In addition, you won't have to spend a lot of time preparing for these activities; most require little more than reading the instructions and stepping outside to experience the joy of nature. And the activities are designated by level of difficulty: one leaf for easy, two leaves for medium, and three leaves for challenging. If a particular activity or part of an activity is too challenging for a younger child, feel free to adapt it to fit your child's age level and abilities.Finally, always keep safety in mind. Remember: no touching or chasing animals; stay away from poison ivy and the like; be careful around water; watch the weather; dress appropriately for the season; wear sunscreen or protective clothing; use bug spray; hydrate; wear sturdy, comfortable footwear; and take plenty of breaks.With this book you will embark on a journey of growth together, whether through developmental milestones, bonding, or learning skills for a lifetime. The first steps of this journey stretch beyond the pages of this book, to the hiking trails, mountains, fields, beaches, and forests you and your child explore. Have fun on your journey together!

As an interior designer and lifestyle blogger, a lot is asked of me questions and how to translate my style is what I am asked the most. From now, "my look" has become distinct enough that I like to think if you have seen a array of police from five different houses, you would immediately identify the one I designed. That said, you may not be able to easily summarize it in a few words. My looks aren't about one thing or the other but rather it's a specific mix that I've spent years developing.You can take the title of this book literally: Everything in these pages is really made for living. In the rooms I design, the sofas are matched with beautiful ottomans upholstered in tactile fabrics that, yes, you can actually put your feet up on (or, in my case, Converse). In my own kitchen, I used one of my favorite materials: beautiful, variegated Moroccan glazed terra-cotta tiles. They're full of nicks and dings; no two pieces are alike. And that's why I love them. "Perfect" is not my goal.

This book was written to change the way players think about and play the game of soccer. I struggled for years with sub-average performances as a defender, defensive center midfielder, and outside midfielder. I was often placed in these positions because I could not score. Due to my immaturity, I did not like others correcting my form. I knew it needed considerable improvement, so I would take it personally when someone gave me feedback. I realized that this was limiting my ability to become the player I wanted to be.Therefore, I sought out the knowledge that allowed me to score multiple goals a game, defend correctly, pass with excellent form, etc. As a result of this success, I could not help but share my understanding of the game to other players who are looking to improve, parents who want to boost their child's confidence on the field, and coaches who want to be viewed as outstanding by all of their players and their players' parents. Though I train players individually and in small groups, I know that writing the information down in a book will allow it to reach more eyes, build more confidence, and make a significant impact on the world.This book dives deep into the important topics of soccer. Though the correct form and tactics are extremely helpful in ensuring the ball ends up in the opponent's net, you also need a strong mindset to improve on any weaknesses, solidify your strengths, and implement many tips and tricks, to become the person on your team that consistently scores.This book will help you become the most admired player on your team. Changing one or two things may help you become better, but once you start implementing most or even all the techniques described in this book, you will see a significant improvement in your performance on the field However, remember that the knowledge in this book is only helpful when applied. You must apply it to score 10X more goals each season, which will lead to several more wins.
