From the Novak Djokovic Foundation’s website:
“When we see mud puddles, we avoid them. When kids see mud puddles, they jump in and splash in them. Their desire to do so is driven by their natural instinct to explore and discover using senses and motor actions. Thus they build a storehouse of knowledge about the physical world. Through this and similar outdoor activities children master essential life skills such as problem-solving, ability to focus and respond to changing contexts, as well as decision-making. In other words, exposure to natural settings enhances their cognitive development.”
Instead of hating the rain and avoiding puddles, why don’t we put our rain boots on and jump puddles with our little ones? 😁☔️
(sorry to break it to you living in HK - it’s gonna be wet all week long!)
