Let’s face it–the world went uber digital almost overnight when the pandemic hit.
So many Zoom meetings, things shut down, no more togetherness. I know that going outside is a safe activity, but even that is difficult and not all of us feel safe doing that.
But our kids need nature! They need it like they need their blood coursing through their bodies.
We are part of the earth, created from it’s very essence. And no matter your view point on that, you cannot deny that children are happier, healthier and more calm when they are getting outside regularly.
We are designed to commune with nature.
Our kids feel it in their bones. They love animals, love the wind blowing through their hair and could play all day in a mud pit.
We need nature.
Our kids need nature.
And I know, this is still digital. Your kids aren’t actually coming over to our house to play with the goats, but it’s one more card to put in your back pocket to get your kids close to nature.
And what mom doesn’t want one more Ace in their hand?
And goats can bring joy and happiness to your digital space, a little bit of nature in the online world.
Your kids (and you) can learn all about goats through developing a relationship with an actual goat. It’s so much more fun to learn through relationships, instead of dry textbooks. They can see what their goat is doing and learn the why’s behind it.
