Respecting the Wild Heart of Child Development with Gill Howarth
Send us Fan Mail We're back, baby! Kicking off the 2024 season of the Raising Wildlings Podcast with our friend and fellow business owner Gill Howarth from Born Wise Education. Gill always brings her wisdom to the table and it's great to have her back for an in-depth discussion on what raising "wild and free" children truly means. Listen in as Gill shares: 🌱Her experience on the delicate balance of granting our children the space to navigate their fears and the world at large. 🌱The spectrum of childhood "wildness" from mentorship to fostering autonomy. 🌱And we confront the crucial question: Are ideas of wildness and freedom more reflective of our aspirations as adults than the experiences of our children? Listen in and come away with a deepened understanding of nature play, child-centered learning, and the broader movements towards decolonising forest school education. Welcome back to Raising Wildlings — where we explore raising brave, resilient, curious kids who feel at home outdoors. If you're an educator ready to bring more nature play and child-led learning into your Early Years program, our Bush Kindy Professional Development Workshops are for you. You'll walk away with practical tools, risk-benefit strategies, and the confidence to take learning outside in a way that's safe, meaningful, and genuinely exciting for You know this podcast is just a small part of what we do at Wildlings Forest School.
