'Ask Alisha' - Camping with Kids and Grounding
Our family goes camping as much as we can.
I grew up camping and luckily my husband loves camping too, which means that our kids had no choice not to start loving camping as well!
Camping, especially with kids, is always met with mixed opinions. It can be the greatest holiday or the worst of holidays. Yes, every camping trip I've done with kids so far has resulted in middle of the night bed changes, noisy sleeping bag and tent door zips going up and down in the middle of the night for toilet visits, rainy days, mud and sand where it shouldn't be, mosquitoes, midges, wet towels, wet sheets, wet feet and occasionally asking myself, what the hell are we doing!??
√ no TV
√ no mirrors
√ no bras
√ no shoes
√ no schedule
√ no alarm clocks
√ no computers
√ no iPads
√ 24 hour grounding
√ daily swimming
√ stargazing
√ campfires
√ communal food prep/cooking
√ meeting new people
√ sleeping without wifi
√ sleeping on the ground
√ deep sleeps
√ waking up to the sun and the birds
√ sharing a small space and being so close to my family for the whole holiday
√ fresh air
√ independence from modern living
√ bombardment with negative ions
√ the feeling of freedom
See why I happily put up with occasional wet and sandy feet in bed?
Apart from the obvious benefits you get from the list above, I want to outline the importance of taking a break from modern living and what it can do for our mental health.
No Screens
A Break from WiFi and EMF's
There is no escaping the studies of how WiFi and EMF's (electromagnetic fields) are making a difference to our overall health and how we are feeling. And there really is no escaping them unless you move to the middle of the desert and happy living without electricity.I get that you're either a camper or you're not....but remember you and your life keeps changing so definitely put camping on your 'keep trying' list if you've had a bad experience in the past.
