Childhood obesity is increasing year on year. Happiness and well-being levels in children are on the decline too. One of the reasons for this is inactivity. Children spend less time outside and more time in front of screens (computers, phones, games, television). Physical activity causes the release of 'feel good' endorphins into the body. 100 Family Adventures provides parents with a valuable resource bank of tried and tested outdoor activities to enjoy with their children, swapping 'screen time' for 'green time'. Particularly inspiring for people who want to get started, but don't know how, the book will help all family members foster a positive mindset that sees challenges as opportunities to rise to; and family time outdoors as great fun and highly rewarding. Activities are grouped into themes: Woodland, Water, Close to Home, Hills and Mountains, Exploring, By the Sea, Extreme Weather. Within each section is a range in difficulty, from making a rope swing to scrambling up a stream, from spending a day without electricity to going on a charity bike ride, from exploring a rockpool to camping on an uninhabited island. Sensible but enthusiastic instructions from Tim and Kerry combine with inspiring photos, with remarks and advice (and jokes!) from Amy and Ella.
