I thought about this often, and you've put it in words beautifully. It’s not really the weather that keeps kids inside. Our craving for control, comfort, and convenience slowly teaches them that nature is only worth engaging with when it’s sunny and still.

I love this mindset shift and promoting adventure by getting out in all kinds of weather! You are so right that systems are key - we use lockers to separate out our seasonal gear and we organize items into bags so we can grab them and go easily. Fewer barriers means more time outdoors!
