Description

Sean Killingsworth, founder of the Reconnect Movement joins us as we confront one of the most urgent issues of our time - the impact of screens and smartphones on our children's lives. In this compelling discussion, Sean sheds light on how screens have dramatically altered childhood experiences, leaving a generation trapped in an addictive cycle of entertainment and artificial social interactions. They delve into personal anecdotes, highlighting the profound consequences of excessive screen use and the erosion of genuine social connections. Sean calls for a crucial shift in parenting and education, advocating for a return to genuine, in-person interactions and the creation of phone-free mini-communities. He emphasizes the necessity of protecting childhood and fostering authentic connections, challenging us to be bold leaders in our communities and prioritize our children's well-being. Join us in this critical conversation as we strive to give our children the childhood they deserve - one free from the clutches of a screen-dominated society. It's time to reclaim childhood and preserve the essence of true socializing for the well-being of future generations.

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.
