I like these suggestions for setting expectations before going on a "hike" with kids.
"hiking is a long vigorous walk, usually on trails or footpaths, in the countryside. Hiking with young children is a series of steps with a pause, another series of steps, pause and so on in an outdoor area."
This is funny, sad, true, beautiful.
As one of my readers once said, parents often impose their sense of time on their kids. "Slow and boring" has a place for sure : )
There is so much of parenting (and life really) that is slow and boring. Kids are excellent teachers to us adults that forget that it is a part of life.
