À propos de cet audio
Bringing Up Bébé meets Last Child in the Woods in this lively, insightful memoir about a mother who sets out to discover if the nature-centric parenting philosophy of her native Scandinavia holds the key to healthier, happier lives for her American children.
When Swedish-born Linda McGurk moved to small-town Indiana with her American husband to start a family, she quickly realized that her outdoorsy ways were not the norm. In Sweden children play outside all year round, regardless of the weather, and letting young babies nap outside in freezing temperatures is not only common - it is a practice recommended by physicians. In the US, on the other hand, she found that the playgrounds, which she had expected to find teeming with children, were mostly deserted. In preschool, children were getting drilled to learn academic skills while their Scandinavian counterparts were climbing trees, catching frogs, and learning how to compost. Worse, she realized that giving her daughters the same freedom to play outside that she had enjoyed as a child in Sweden could quickly lead to a visit by Child Protective Services.
The brewing culture clash finally came to a head when McGurk was fined for letting her children play in a local creek, setting off an online firestorm when she expressed her anger and confusion on her blog. The rules and parenting philosophies of her native country and her adopted homeland were worlds apart.
Struggling to fit in and to decide what was best for her children, McGurk turned to her own childhood for answers. Could the Scandinavian philosophy of "there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes" be the key to better lives for her American children? And how would her children's relationships with nature change by introducing them to Scandinavian concepts like friluftsliv ("open-air living") and hygge (the coziness and the simple pleasures of home)? McGurk embarked on a six-month-long journey to Sweden to find out.
There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather is a fascinating personal narrative that highlights the importance of spending time outdoors and illustrates how the Scandinavian culture could hold the key to raising healthier, resilient, and confident children in America.

Great perspective on the importance of outdoor play
Loved listening to this book. The narrator at times sounded a bit like Siri or an automated system, but otherwise was easy to listen to. The book is a great perspective on the importance of outdoor play. Some good takeaways. Definitely recommend for those interested in the Scandinavian culture and their way of parenting.

Inspired me to start taking my 2.5 year old outdoors more. We are 5 days into doing 2-3 hours every day and she now always wants to be outside and we are having less tantrums. I am enjoying it too!

fine
I loved the beginning, I was a child that ran barefoot outside all the time and recognize that it's part of being a kid is allowing for children to get dirty and explore .... but then it started taking a climate change approach. not that Climate change isn't important and yes I believe that we should take care of our environment.... But that's just not why I purchased the book .... I got a bit fed up cause I wanted to continue and hear ideas , stories and suggestions about getting kids outdoors... but didn't care for the direction it went in.
also I'm a big believer in having play clothes, go out, explore, get as dirty as you want ... but we also have town clothes or nice clothing that I believe we should care for and look decent , I don't like the idea of " meh, it will wash " no need to care for nice clothing . And I'm not too keen on my children poopng and peeing in my front yard ! sure camping or hiking in the woods or if your really desperate.... but yeah the whole book just took a really hippy Dippy approach and that's not really my style. I think the info was fine , but honestly, I didn't really learn anything new, I take my young baby out for walks all year round ! and I think the majority of play should be outside , and playing in the rain or snow is perfectly fine and fun .... But yeah, I wouldn't say it taught me anything I didn't already know .
