Welcome to Obihiro.
If you and your kids have moved to Obihiro and are looking for something fun to do, how about trying bouldering?
Why do kids love to climb?
For kids, it’s simple…it’s fun! And that’s all that matters to them. They aren’t going to intellectualize or analyze it; they are just going to do it and have a ball doing it.
Turns out the reason kids love rock climbing is that it’s fun for them and is quite comforting for their parents. First, it’s a normal development process resulting from a completely natural instinct to explore, and to begin to feel empowered in the world of climbers. Humans love challenges and solving them, and every climb represents a highly personal challenge.
Second, kids love to climb because it’s a way to take risks. Childhood is all about, if nothing else, pushing boundaries and learning to feel danger and the resulting rush of adrenaline. Every climb presents the risk of falling, and possibly hurting or injuring oneself.
Third, kids love rock climbing because they are natural learners and they instinctively know that every climb represents a learning opportunity. They know, at a cellular level, that it’s going to feel really good to be faced with a challenge that involves risk, to figure out a strategy to meet the challenge, and then for climbers to execute the strategy successfully.
Finally, as every parent knows, a child just doesn’t feel good physically, emotionally, or mentally if he or she is stagnant. That child feels good when he or she is active. Climbing is a constant activity…observe the challenge, plan the approach, attempt the approach, fail, rest and reconsider the strategy, try again, succeed, find a new climb, repeat.
