Culture

Culture helps people to identify with one another and form a sense of belonging within a society. Cultural practices, values, and beliefs provide individuals with a shared identity and a sense of community. This shared identity and sense of belonging can help to foster social cohesion.

Culture helps to preserve a society's heritage and history. Cultural practices and traditions are often passed down from generation to generation, providing a link to the past and a sense of continuity. By preserving cultural heritage, societies can maintain a sense of identity and ensure that future generations have a connection to their cultural roots.

Caregiver Bond

Feeling safe, seen, soothed and secure increases neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to change and adapt. When a child’s world is full of love, they are better prepared to deal with the challenges of the larger world. A positive early bond lays the ground for children to grow up to become happy, independent adults. Loving, secure relationships help build resilience, our ability to cope with challenges and recover from setbacks.  Learning to explore at a young age with a caring adult creates adults who are prepared for anything.  Caregiver bonds create nests where children are encouraged to explore and return to the comfort and wellbeing on a place full of endless love.

Adventure

Adventure is an important component of childhood. Adventure encourages children to explore their environment while they develop a sense of self-worth by testing their abilities.  This builds confidence through risk-taking and fosters critical thinking skills.  Adventure promotes physical activity, social interaction, and overall cognitive development.  Taking risks and learning though hands-on experiences allow you to learn about yourself and your place in the world.

An adventure does not happen in a single moment.  It requires work ahead of time, trust, confidence, and the willingness to explore.  An adventure never ends. It creates another platform for confidence to grow, and adventures that lie ahead.
