Description

This one is sooooooooooooo good. Not only will you be inspired to adventure like Glen (and maybe even send your teen on one of his trips!) but you'll be challenged to think about how much leisure, connection, and risk you are weaving into your life. We talk about the power of nature to facilitate connection and what the secret to bringing happiness is! We also talk about wandering through you life as it pertains to careers and goals. This episode will give you a lot to talk with your teens and tweens about. Finally, we cover helicopter/snowplow parenting and the concept of preparing your child for the trail, not the trail for your child.

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.
