You Took the Kids Where?

Book excerpt: Must Adventure Disappear From Your Life As Children Enter?Not At All!It Can Be The Best Learning Experience Your Family Will Ever Encounter!Doug Woodward and Trish Severin have spent three decades introducing their children to the value of living at ease in the wilds of nature, as well as learning lessons from people who live much simpler lives than do most of us in the United States.Tales of many of their adventures recounted here will give you the sense of why they would take their children, almost from birth, into these different worlds.And what makes this book so unique is the span of time that it covers. It doesn't end with late childhood or even early teens, but follows each child from her or his earliest years all the way into adulthood, giving a glimpse of just who that child has become, letting you judge for yourself whether the philosophy of these parents was beneficial.Should you be gripped by an irresistible urge to follow any of these paths yourself, the last section of the book outlines how you can prepare for each type of adventure, including a list of essentials to help your own experience be one which will have your children asking for more.
