Book Reviews of Extreme Kids: How to Connect With Your Children Through Today's Extreme (and Not So Extreme) Outdoor Sports
Book Review: Wonderful Book!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is truly a wonderful book. It promotes an active and healthy lifestyle for kids to explore to the wonders of nature in all its forms. He reccomends wonderful activities that you can do with your children and addresses each one according to the child's age. I also coudn't get enough of the philosophy behind it. In this age right now children are experiencing Nature-Deficit Disorder. This is a very big epidemic that is affecting our children today. We need to unplug kids from the indoors (like tv, videogames, computers, etc.) and plug them outside!!! The benefits are endless! This book shows you how! And I love the author's sense of humor. Get this book. You will be making an active difference in your child's ( and yours) life. I hope he comes out with another similar book like this one! Book Review: Quick read, great tips
Summary: 5 Stars
I really got a lot out of this book. The best parts are less about the logistics of doing various activities with kids and more about child psychology with regard to getting them engaged in outdoor activities. I tried a number of their tips over the summer hiking season, and it made a big difference in how much both myself and my kids enjoyed out hikes.
The logistical part is also helpful, and is broken into different sections for different sports, which made it easy to find what I was looking for.
