The Reality of Hiking with Toddlers

Sometimes words are just not adequate. Wait for it…wait for it…
We’ve all been there. Hiking with toddlers is not all rosy bliss. Meltdowns happen, but don’t let it stop you from getting out there!
As parents, very day brings us another “what if…” moment. Think of it as an opportunity to teach, to bond, to exhibit a little patience.
Sometimes, we get so caught up in the craziness of it all that we forget to slow down, relax and just simply enjoy the little moments. “What if she sits down on the trail and doesn’t want to budge?” Sit down with her and just be…together.

  1. I have two toddlers, 3 years old and 1 year old we go hiking all the time with them. Meltdowns occur almost every time. Next time I will video mine as well and we can share them haha. Happy hiking!
