As a kid, going outside meant freedom from my parents, time with friends in the neighborhood, and endless opportunities for my imagination. Plus, there wasn\u2019t anything that exciting indoors except my same old toys and boring midday television talk shows. Now, it\u2019s different. Indoors, there are screens and endless worm holes of social media, videos, and games. It\u2019s become hard for nature to compete. Yet, the Seacoast outdoors with kids can be so fun! Here\u2019s my advice on how to get your kids interested in the outdoors:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #111111; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 22px;\">Make outdoor time = family time<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A friend of mine started Sunday hikes as a weekly family activity. She used blogs and word of mouth to find fun, local spots to hike with her seven and nine year old. Her children built summer memories of conquering mountains, finding waterfalls, and enjoying trails.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic gave many families more time together, but with nowhere to safely go.&nbsp; Nature walks, hiking, paddling, or a picnic gets the family out of the house in a low covid risk activity. My children\u2019s best memories from the pandemic have been the fishing trip with dad, summiting their first mountain, and swimming in the local Seacoast lakes. There&#8217;s never been a better time to explore the Seacoast outdoors with kids.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21933\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21933\" style=\"width: 522px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-21933\" src=\"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"picnic\" width=\"522\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-1024x759.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-768x569.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-150x111.jpg 150w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-600x445.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-1536x1138.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-485x360.jpg 485w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-696x516.jpg 696w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-1068x792.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_3130.jpg 1669w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21933\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A family picnic gets everyone outside and enjoying spending time together.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start easy (but not boring) &#8211; Where to get outside with kids on the Seacoast!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t have your first family outdoor adventure tackling a six mile hike in the White Mountain wilderness.

In my free time, my family likes to spend a lot of time outdoors and I love writing about all the adventures available on the Seacoast. I am the author of \"Seacoast Hikes and Nature Walks - Volume 1\" and run my own blog called the Freelance Adventurer. You can find more about both of these on social at @seacoasthikes and @freelanceadventurer.","sameAs":["http:\/\/thefreelanceadventurer.blogspot.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheFreelanceAdventurer\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/freelanceadventurer\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/thefreelanceadventurer\/"],"url":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/author\/lindseylapointe\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/How-To-Get-Your-Kids-Interested-In-The-Outdoors.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21924"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5658"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21924"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22260,"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21924\/revisions\/22260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theseacoastmoms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
