Notă biografică
Kate Blincoe is a freelance journalist and writer for publications including The Guardian and Eastern Daily Press and the RSPB, who has been working in the environmental sector for over a decade. While working with the RSPB she became aware of how many children had very little experience with nature and the environment. Raising children with an understanding of and connection to the natural world is now just as important to Kate as reducing the carbon footprint of their early years.

Recenzii
Parents enjoy little time for reading, so this dip-in-able green guidebook is a brilliant idea. lt's packed with lists, recipes, tips and ideas for seasonal activities, eco-friendly living and engaging kids in the natural world... As the slow parenting movement gathers momentum, this resource can help families turn off the screens and get back to basics - bonding and enjoying nature together.
Packed full of green ideas and great ways to inspire your kids about nature, how to drag them away from the screens and feel great as you watch their eyes light up with the joy of the natural world.
At last - a good parenting guide which doesn't make you feel inadequate! Kate Blincoe shows how green parenting is not about hair shirts or home-made muesli but blends convenient modern technology with healthier, greener alternatives. This book is full of realistic tips for being greener around the home and brilliant ideas for wild play, from teddy dens to lawn letters. You'll see how greener parenting is more fun for your children - and more fun for you. I'm a nature-loving parent still struggling with screens, plastic toys and supermarket food, and Kate's simple, inspiring ideas and good sense is just what I need.
Overall the book is a wonderful read, it has beautiful illustrations and photographs that the children have really enjoyed looking at. We also really liked that it was in no way preacher-y, I never felt that I was failing or felt judged when I was reading this book. It is not about what we are doing wrong, rather it suggests a million little ways that we can do it right, that we can be greener.
It's not a hippy book!
I knew Kate could write but I didn't know just how good it would be. I soon realised that I would need an actual copy to bookmark pages to go back to (and I have it on pre-order).
Fun and practical... humorous, colorful and imaginative and very easy to read.
There are ideas you'll have thought of and some that are new, some you'll want to try and some you'll know are not for you. You'll find your own inspirations, and this is a book to browse and dip into, see what takes your fancy.
This is an inspiring and practical book which will be of great interest to every parent who wants their children to have the kind of childhood they deserve.
Kate has created challenges, which appear throughout the book and encourage every member of the family to choose a greener, more meaningful existence. Dive in to this rich resource and have fun going green!
It's not just a big, bright, colourful manual on how to have fun with all the family, this book carries a vitally important message that connecting kids to nature is critical for the future of our planet. The No Nonsense Guide to Green Parenting is as necessary as it is timely.
Kate has a great way of understanding and interpreting nature and the natural world coupled with a true sense of sustainability and a real understanding of parenthood. This is a book packed full of ideas and helpful suggestions - a must for parents and children alike. I love the way it is written and its so inspiring to think of both forgotten and new ways of engaging with daily tasks. This is a true guide to making a difference and adding value to our children and the planet.
So much in this book that I wish I knew when my children were small. A fabulous resource for new - and not so new - parents!
Imaginative and practical, inspiring yet down-to-earth, Kate Blincoe's lively, easy-to-read book offers busy parents a wealth of simple and insightful ideas to help them provide their children with a nurturing and balanced childhood. Following her guidance will help parents to bring up their children to be enthusiastically in tune with the natural world and to handle some of the challenges of contemporary technology.
I wish I had written this book! It echoes so many of my feelings about modern day parenting. Full of inspired ideas and practical methods to get 'back to nature' in the modern world. Anyone wanting to find alternatives to screens and electronics should read this book.
This is the ultimate handbook for a fun, green and healthy family. I love this book. It is inspirational and uplifting and will help any family reconnect with nature... get out there and try these great ideas.
