All Weather
Encouraging a child to go outside in all weather builds resilience, but more importantly it saves them from spending their life merely tolerating the 'bad' days in favour of a handful of 'good' ones - a life of endless expectations and conditions where happiness hinges on sunshine. - Nicolette Sowder
Sow a Seed
Children grow up hearing how broken the environment is, how broken beyond repair. Plant strawberries together, make wild medicines, paint the sunrise. Show them proof that for every act of destruction, they can sow a seed, however small, of beauty. - Nicolette Sowder
What Children Need Most
While our society is busy wondering and theorizing about what children need most, nature simply holds a space for the child to discover that for themselves. - Nicolette Sowder
The Wild
No matter how old our children get, may they never stop talking to every creature, leaf, rock and river --- may they never stop believing that the wild can hear them - Nicolette Sowder
Pockets
No matter how old you get, may you always stop to fill your pockets with smooth stones, empty snail shells and other little treasure. - Nicolette Sowder
Chairs
If we want our children to move mountains, we first have to let them get out of their chairs. - Nicolette Sowder
