Take a walk on the Child Side - Going kid-paced

A recent article by Michael Kapral in Canadian Geographic reports on the wonders when you let your six-year old dictate the pace: Take a walk on the child side: The best way to explore Lake Winnipeg's Hecla Island?  Slow down and let a six year old set the pace. Published fall 2010

Letting Annika dictate our speed is going to be a role reversal from our initial bonding experience, when I set a world record for the fastest marathon pushing a baby in a stroller.

Michael Kapral explores the growing trend of slow-parenting and connecting with your children through their eyes.  This movement is celebrated through a variety of sources: the slow movement, outdoor preschools, and experiential learning facilities.

Tell us about the slow adventures that you go on with your kids or students on the map or as an email and post the photos on our flickr sharing page or facebook fan page.
