Description

There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather explores the importance of the outdoors to childhood development in a fascinating way. Linda Åkeson McGurk, a Swedish-American mother, sets out to discover if the nature-centric parenting philosophy of her native Scandinavia can benefit her American children.

In her native Sweden, children play outdoors year-round, regardless of the weather, and environmental education is a key part of the public-school curriculum. However, when McGurk moved to the US, she found that the nature-centric approach was not the norm. She embarked on a six-month journey to Sweden with her daughters to see how their lives would change in a place where spending time in nature is considered essential to a good childhood.

This book is a personal and practical guide to raising healthy, resilient, and confident kids, drawing on McGurk's own experiences and the nature-centric parenting philosophies of Scandinavia.
