The key to raising free-range kids? Get out of their way. Left to their own devices, kids will get muddy, befriend bugs, and bond with the birds. Find looks that get out of their way, too, so they can focus on the winding trails ahead.

Build an adventure kit that lets your kid go from school to trail as soon as the bell rings.

4 Tips to Rewild Your Child

From L.A. Adventure Dad Ralph (@daytripsla)

Be opportunistic

Get out when you can—no shame in being a weekend warrior family.

It will rain and your kids will whine, but don’t let that stop you from getting out.

Reconsider “activities.”

Extracurriculars and team sports take up time that could be spent in nature.

Don’t be a helicopter

Let your kids take measured risks to develop confidence & skills outside.
