In The Zone
One of our better ideas was a family outing to a treetop adventure walk. Our 7 year old grand daughter, who is a very independent young lady - much like her mother was at that age - thought it was pretty cool to be outfitted in a waist harness, helmet, leather gloves, and safety lines. There was hesitation when looking up the tall ladder attached to the side of the tree but she pressed on. A little peer pressure and a helping hand from Mom and her older brother also helped. From my point of view, it was wonderful to see her progression from fearful to self confident. She was "in the zone" and at the end of it, we had to do it again.
