Renowned headmaster and father-of-four Mike Fairclough's tried-and-tested approach shares how to nurture your child's naturally rebellious side, encourage their sense of adventure and independence, and help them develop optimism about the future and gratitude for the world around them. This trailblazing book includes:




   practical, liberating exercises to explore freedom and creativity with your child
   advice on how to set non-restrictive goals and positive intentions
   examples of how play and games can improve problem-solving and enhance imagination
   tips on how to encourage your child to reconnect with nature, from looking under stones for insects to journeying into forests and fields
   simple ways to help your child step outside their comfort zone and build confidence in their own abilities




Encouraging children to explore and reconnect with their adventurous side is more important than ever. Full of down-to-earth advice, honesty, and positivity, this book will encourage both you and your child to move beyond the boundaries of everyday life to become self-assured, secure and, above all, happy.
