WILD CAMPING AND HIKING WITH A TWO YEAR OLD IN SCOTLAND | Family outdoor adventure in Scotland
In this video, I share our tips and experience of wild camping and hiking with a two-year old in Scotland. We love experiencing family outdoor adventures together and the May holiday weekend took us to Galloway Forest Park where we hiked the highest hill in the region, the Merrick. We had an amazing time and I hope the video gives some useful advice as we share our experiences and a little inspiration to get your little ones outdoors!
Thank you so much for watching.

      Hey! It's definitely a consideration for us and one we review quite often! Luckily his languages are still pretty balanced (he's now 5) although it definitely helps that he goes to school in a 3rd language, Gaelic. I think it helps to stop English becoming too dominant! 😀

So hard to find just nice stories about people! I've never heard of any of the books you mentioned and look forward to checking them out!

    Based on my own experience, I wholeheartedly agree with everything in this video. My 6 yr old is picky due to me not implementing these things when he was younger and trying to cut corners, but every time I follow advice like this, he starts improving. For fruit, he usually only eats bananas, smoothies, juice and fruit bars, but he tried pomegranate seeds and cherries yesterday and loved them. I almost didn't ask him to try because I thought he wouldn't like them. I just have to remember to keep an open mind, keep exposing him to new foods, and cook and eat with him, letting him have control. Would love it if you made more foraging videos, the one I just watched with Ben on your back was really good :)

    • @BairnandaBackpack
      @BairnandaBackpack ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Jenny! Thanks for your comment. Great that the advice resonates with you. Pomegranate is a huge hit over here too! I have just started weaning my 6 month old twins so it is starting all over again here. 🤣We haven't been doing much foraging lately, apart from our yearly bramble haul, since the twins arrived but hopefully we'll get back to it ( and making any kind of video) this year!
