Forest kindergarten

Waldkindergarten"(Forest kindergartens)" popular education idea in Germany since early 1990s. Children age 3-6 spend all their time outdoors 4–6 hours daily, all-season long, in the forest. No classroom, no books, no manufactured toys and no such thing as bad weather, Rain or snow. The idea that the forest can be the classroom and is a natural way for children to discover the world around them. The forest helps them learn to identifying with nature, and said to even support the immune system and physical and mental health. Children gain self-confidence and good balance, running, jumping, climbing and hiking. Playing with sticks, digging in dirt, looking for frogs or climbing a tree, the children learn to enjoy the world around them. Many different variations of this education, like Wandergruppe a hiking groups , and SCHUB- Schule auf dem Bauernhof, "school on the farm".
Jean-Jacques Rousseau a philosopher from the 1700's said "The child will not enjoy a book about a river or a mountain if he has never actually climbed a mountain or looked for tadpoles in a river."

Obsessive Compulsion

Obsessive compulsion to clean and tidy. Cleaning all day long , constantly picking up toys, books, crayons and bits of paper . So how hard is it to fight the urge to tidy up a stack of crooked books at Barns and Noble . What about seeing the cereal boxes at the grocery store all are nice and straight except for that just one thats turned around? To stay healthy and happy is to learn how to relax. When we do have a chance to get out all alone use that time to clear your mind and buy yourself a coffee . Find something you enjoy that you can do alone like a walk or swimming at your YMCA . It's great when you feel like yourself again.
