Publisher's Description
A modern, practical, and inspiring guide to creating deep heart connections with kids by regularly creating new experiences and intentional adventures together. Parents today complain of fragmented relationships with their kids. What parents yearn for--and their kids too--is deep, heart-to-heart connections. But how can parents compete with all the other noise fighting for their kids' attention? The answer, says Greta Eskridge, is to break free from regular routines and familiar comforts of home to experience new places and adventures--even if those adventures go awry. From simply reading a book together to going on an overnight backpacking trip, activities together provide unique and crucial bonding opportunities. Adventuring Together highlights Greta's stories of doing just that, including an array of ideas for outdoor and indoor ventures, what to do when your finances are limited, and how to adventure if your family can't hit the hiking trail or spend the night at a campground. Giving readers the tools to make adventures happen, Adventuring Together is a step-by-step guide for parents--whether in the city or the country--to start building connections today that will last a lifetime.

“Greta tells stories about the adventures that we all want to have with our kids, and then she gives us the tools. If you’re like me and find yourself to be more ‘indoorsy’ than ‘outdoorsy’ you are in good company—this book is for you. Through this beautiful and honest work, she is going to inspire families and change relationships.”
“Greta Eskridge is the friend you need shouting ‘You can do this!’ from the other side of the obstacle course. In Adventuring Together, Greta’s words build confidence and courage to risk comfort and pursue audacious parenting. As you cultivate adventurous environments to bring out the best in your kids, you’ll become a better version of yourself. So get outside, mamas. Greta has pioneered the way. You can do this!”
“Everyone needs to read Adventuring Together. Parents, of course, but grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, mentors, youth leaders, and parents of teenagers, especially. Because Greta is here in the trenches of our modern world, walking in humility, honesty, and vulnerability. She lords nothing over, nor pontificates. She knows the hard work, the tears, the failures, and the near misses. But she presses on, knowing how important this is for all of us. If you need a fresh, fun, and approachable dose of inspiration for the work you do as parents, look no further. Adventuring Together is powerfully simple, profound in its implications, and potentially life-changing for all who read with a heart to connect with their children.”
