Completely agree. Parents try to force their kids to do the things that are indeed good for them, but by forcing the issue kids resent it. This is for any activity.

This is my first visit to your blog, but loved this post.

Good advice Kristine. Fits in well with what I wrote as part of this challenge; sometimes I have to check myself and make sure I’m not being heavy-handed with my kids when it comes to the outdoors.

Kristine,

I couldn’t agree more with you. I know Abby is very young still, but as you saw in my post about this challenge, I plan to let her have many outdoor experiences, and then let her choose which one fits her best.

I would love to have her hunt and fish with me, but if down the road she decides she only likes hiking then so be it.

I would still be a proud dad, and support her in any outdoor pursuit she chose.

We can lure them outdoors, or entice them, or force them. But the bottom line is: you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

Nice post, Kristine.
