1) it’s essential to everyone’s health and happiness to be out of the house and outside of possible for a big part of the day I would say starting at least at 1 year. Being at home too much will make everyone cranky. Being at the park is terrific.

2) Even if you have a class or something every day you still have a ton of unstructured time, which is exactly what kids need. A child playing in the dirt with a stick is going exactly what they’re supposed to do to learn and grow.

3) kids need time to process and replay the exciting things that do happen, and they do it on their own time in their own way. So for everyone one hour music class figure you need 90 minutes or so of the kid doing something you don’t understand is related that could involve the stick and dirt or swinging and staring at the clouds.

My two year old and I recently went to the park and she ran up and across the same little foot bridge 50 times. It was really boring for me. I trust it was just what she needed for whatever reason. They really can direct their own learning and they do it best outside. [/quote]
