WHAT IS THIS BOOK?

Thriving Together: Outdoor Adventures is a beautifully crafted hardcover book packed with 20 meaningful outdoor date ideas for parents and children. It’s designed to help you swap screen time and stress for sunshine, mud pies, bush walks, backyard tents, and slow, joy-filled connection.

Each date is more than just an idea—it’s a doorway into your child’s world. The kind of togetherness that builds trust, emotional safety, and lifelong memories.

Whether you live near a forest or just have a backyard lawn, this book meets you where you are. It’s filled with flexible, doable adventures that help your child feel seen, capable, and cherished—and help you feel like the parent you want to be.

 

WHO IS IT FOR?

  • Parents who want to connect, but feel pulled in too many directions
  • Families looking for screen-free, fuss-free ways to enjoy time together
  • Sensitive or spirited kids who thrive in movement-based connection
  • Anyone who wants to make childhood feel a little more magical, wild, and wonder-filled

 

WHY IT MATTERS?

Connection doesn’t just happen when we’re face-to-face. Some of the strongest bonds are built side-by-side—doing, noticing, building, solving. That’s the gift of outdoor time.

Research shows that shared physical activity and nature-based experiences release oxytocin and dopamine—fueling connection and long-term emotional wellbeing. It’s called co-experiencing, and it’s one of the most powerful predictors of a secure parent–child bond.

And best of all? You don’t need a hiking trail or hours of free time. Just 30 minutes and a patch of dirt or grass is enough to create emotional anchors that shape how your child sees themselves.

 

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

Inside your Outdoor Adventures book, you’ll find 20 outdoor one-on-one date ideas, from backyard campout to nature scavenger hunts to water play parties.

For each date:

  • What to do together
  • How to make it feel special
  • What you’ll need (kept super simple)
  • Expert connection tips
  • Why it works (explained with research and insight)
  • A memory-making tip

Bonus: A beautifully illustrated introductory section including:

  • The science of connection
  • 8 powerful ways to build connection through shared experience
  • Practical steps to “set the scene” for your dates
  • A gentle reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfect—just intentional

 

WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT?

Unlike generic kids’ activity books or parenting advice guides, Thriving Together: Outdoor Adventures is…

  • Rooted in evidence-based research on child development and secure attachment
  • Activities that feel like adventures, but are actually deeply healing
  • Designed for connection, not perfection—every detail is focused on helping you and your child feel close, calm, and seen
  • Flexible and forgiving—use it whenever it fits your rhythm. One date a week, once a month, or as often as you like.

FINAL NOTE

You don’t need a big trip, a perfect plan, or a Pinterest-worthy setup to create magic.

Sometimes, a flashlight under a blanket. A nature crown. A trail name. A silly chant. These are the things your child remembers.

This book is your guide to making those moments happen.
