It can be as small as trying a new food or as big as starring in the school play; helping our kids feel the thrill of adventure doesn’t have to mean putting them at risk or forcing an indoor-loving kid outside. In Episode 213 Meagan and Sarah talk about why creating a family culture around adventure is important to us AND tackle some of the obstacles to living a life of adventure when you have small children, including nudging anxious kids out of their shells and getting over our own hangups in the process. Join us!

I am in the same boat…my son is about to turn 6 and I am so excited for all of our soon to be adventures! He is growing so quickly. We have been really great at Service and Creativity as a family value…excited to add some adventure into the mix.
