Indoor or Outdoor Children... ... ...

My son is two and like me in many ways. I love being outside and being adverturous. My son is the same. He loves to play outside even in rain or cold. I use to love climbing trees when i was able to so i know it won't be long before he likes it as well.

I always had a probelm of my daughter always wanting to be in the house at all times. She only went outside when she wanted to sneak something mainly.

I was an outdoor child,I loved being outside, year round.

My son is an outdoor child too. I just started taking him outside when he was only a few months old. It was easy, bc he was born in Aug, so I started taking him for walks that summer and fall. That first winter, I kept him indoors most of the time, but since then, it's outside if we can.

Now that I'm older, I admit, I hate being cold and could live without being outside when it's less than 50 degrees. But, my son doesn't care and loves to play so I bundle up and head out.

I think it's good for them! There's so much to learn from being outside, in every season. So as long as I can keep him (am me) warm enough, I have a packet of tissue in my pocket, we go outside. We spent the afternoon the other day building a snowman and sliding down our driveway in the sled. It was fun.

I was an indoor child myself. My first son is much
the same as I. I would perfer and still do, to be
inside cooking and cleaning. I just can't stand a
messy house. My youngest son has always been an outdoor
person. He would go out the first chance he got. My sons
are like night and day. They are both great sons, and I wouldn't
have them any other way than the way they are.

My son is an outdoor child, always has been. He gets cabin-fever in the winter when he cant play outside. He's almost unbearable.

But my daughter could stay in her room reading and playing on her own with out a care. Thats me. I love to read and I don't mind staying in. My son is like my husband, always on the go, and always outdoors.

I was an outdoor child when I was little, but the older I got the less I liked being outside. My son is not much of an outside kid. He would rather be inside on the computer. My daughter though would rather be outside all day every day. She hates it when I make her come back inside.

I was an outdoor child even though i have an introverted personality. Because, at a young age we're often less reserved and can make friends relatively easily. So i made friends with a lot of extroverted people and ended up doing activities with them. They participated in sports and such and i followed along and that made me want to do more and more, i would feel restless at home. Then gradually as i get older the people i meet change. They are the friends i still have now; from high school; and they are more of an indoors people. They are pretty much more studious, which is more of my type. I don't have children but most of my young cousins are outdoor children who like to get active.

When my son was young he was definitely an outdoor child. It didn't matter what the weather was like. If it was snowing he'd build snow forts. He apparently got that from me because I was the same way as a child. Unfortunately his two girls, my granddaughters, never seem to leave the house. I'm going to try to change that soon. LOL Once I'm within visiting difference with my move I'll have them out learning how to garden, girlee tea parties on the grass, and afternoon picnics at the local park. Time to get the girls into the fresh air, and time they learned that the real world can be much more entertaining than the virtual world.

My 17 year old son also prefers to stay indoors and play on the computer or game system.
Occasionally my 15 year old son will venture outside and have a game of footie with my younger children or have a bounce on the trampoline. But only when the weather is good.
My three youngest who are 11,8 and 2 I cannot keep them in they just love being outside. I think they enjoy the freedom.
My daughter(the 11 year old)loves doing cross country and it doesn't matter to her how cold it is she will still do it.

I was an outdoor child as well, but my children seem to be more indoorsy. I blame that on technology though.
