Summit Session: No Such Thing As Bad Weather with Linda McGurk

Listen to our Summit Session with Linda Åkeson McGurk, acclaimed journalist, parenting expert, and author of There's No Such Thing As Bad Weather.

In this inspiring conversation, Linda dives into how her Scandinavian upbringing shaped her nature-forward parenting philosophy. Discover why a little rain, snow, or mud shouldn't keep children indoors, and how embracing outdoor play in all seasons boosts emotional regulation, physical development, and resilience. Learn how to foster confidence and connection in children by simply stepping outside.

This session covers:

• The benefits of outdoor play in 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 concept 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 replay offers practical tips and valuable mindset shifts from a leading voice in outdoor parenting.
