Bundle up and join us for a breath of fresh air! Adventure Nannies is thrilled to invite you to a live recording of Adventure Nannies On Air, featuring a special Summit Session with Linda Åkeson McGurk, journalist, parenting expert, and author of the internationally acclaimed There’s No Such Thing As Bad Weather.

In this inspiring conversation, Linda will share how her Scandinavian upbringing shaped her nature-forward parenting philosophy—and why a little rain, snow, or mud shouldn’t keep children indoors. We’ll explore how outdoor play in all seasons supports emotional regulation, physical development, and resilience, and why embracing the elements can be one of the most powerful ways to foster confidence and connection in children.

This session will dive into:
- The benefits of outdoor play across all weather conditions
- Strategies to shift from “weather worrier” to “weather warrior”
- Tools for nannies and caregivers to incorporate nature-based routines year-round

The cultural lens of friluftsliv (open-air life) and how to adapt it to your daily nannying practice

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or nanny looking to brave the elements and bring more joy and freedom into your work, this session is your chance to gain practical tips and mindset shifts straight from one of the leading voices in outdoor parenting.
Join the conversation, ask your questions live, and discover how to nurture a child’s curiosity—rain or shine.
