Call of the Wild Spring is also a time when children want to spend all their time outdoors. Again, join them. Go for walks and see the new flowers, the baby ducks, the birds nests. Go to the park and play on the swings or toss around a baseball. If you encourage outdoors play by joining in, your children will benefit by having fun with you as well as getting fresh air and exercise.
Some people get very silly in the spring.
If you re one of these go ahead, it won t hurt your children to see you being silly. If your child is one of these then have fun. Turn regular activities into games, laugh and joke while you pick up the toys. The world will not fall apart because a job is not done seriously. Of course life must go on and children, like adults, can t use the onset of spring as a chance to avoid homework, piano practice and chores.
