THIS BOOK HELPS YOU TO

  • Enjoy meaningful 1:1 time with your child without planning, prep, or decision fatigue
  • Build a strong, secure parent–child connection through creativity, presence, and play
  • Create consistent rituals that support your child’s emotional regulation and confidence
  • Reduce challenging behaviours caused by disconnection, overwhelm, or attention-seeking
  • Replace screen time with simple, meaningful connection
  • Create emotional safety through shared experience
  • Foster independence, curiosity and resilience through hands-on, engaging activities
  • Strengthen your relationship today in ways that shape your child’s wellbeing for years to come

WHAT’S INSIDE

20 ready-to-go parent–child outdoor dates, each with:

  • Clear “What to Do Together” steps
  • A full “How to Make It Special” section to help you set the scene
  • Simple supply lists using mostly items you already have at home
  • Evidence-based connection tips from child-development and attachment research
  • A warm “Why This Works” explanation for every activity
  • Optional memory-making tips that help your child feel deeply valued

Each date is intentionally short, simple, and doable, just real-life nature-based moments that build long-term connection.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

Unlike generic activity books or Pinterest idea lists, Thriving Together: Outdoor Adventures is:

  • Rooted in evidence-based research on secure attachment, co-experiencing, and emotional regulation
  • Crafted by real parents who understand short attention spans, big feelings, and busy lives
  • Designed for connection, not perfection — every detail helps you feel close, calm, and present
  • Flexible and forgiving — use it whenever it fits your rhythm (weekly, monthly, or spontaneously)
  • A tool that makes connection easy — removing planning stress so you can just be with your child
  • A keepsake-worthy hardcover you’ll reach for over and over again

These moments — the muddy hands, shared discoveries, quiet side-by-side wanderings — become the emotional anchors that shape how a child sees themselves:

“I matter. I’m safe. I’m worth spending time with.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What ages is the book suitable for?

A: It’s designed for children ages 2+, with flexible ideas that work for younger and older kids. Each activity includes suggestions you can scale up or down depending on your child’s age and stage.

Q: How long do the activities take?

A: Most take no more than 30 minutes. Some can be extended if your child wants to keep going, while others are intentionally short for busy parents or high-energy kids.

Q: Will this help with behaviour or emotional regulation?

A: Yes. Research shows that even small doses of attuned 1:1 time strengthen secure attachment, which improves cooperation, reduces emotional outbursts, and increases a child’s resilience. These activities are intentionally connection-first.

Q: Is this book designed for one-on-one time or whole-family activities?

A: Outdoor Adventures is specifically designed for 1:1 parent–child dates, but many activities can also be enjoyed as a family if you choose.

Q: Do I need special materials or lots of prep?

A: No. Most dates use what you already have at home — a blanket, a snack, a flashlight, a bucket, a notebook.

Everything is kept intentionally simple so you can begin immediately.

Q: What if we don’t have a big backyard or live near nature?

A: You don’t need either. These dates work beautifully in:

  • small gardens
  • neighbourhood footpaths
  • local parks
  • beaches
  • front lawns
  • “micro-adventures” on your street

Connection isn’t about the location — it’s about being side-by-side.

Q: Is this part of a series?

A: Yes! Outdoor Adventures is one of four books in the Thriving Together Series — a collection of connection-focused date books designed to strengthen parent–child relationships through creativity, adventure, play, and everyday moments.

Q: Can I buy the other books?

A: Yes. Craft & Create is also available, with Kitchen Magic and Play & Wonder releasing soon. You can purchase them individually or as a bundle.
