Description

In "Childhood is Gone" on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich and guest Nancy Jo Sales delve into the alarming shift in childhood experiences, marked by a concerning emphasis on physical appearance and premature exposure to adult content online. Drawing attention to the diminishing concept of children's rights, they advocate for the protection of young minds from societal pressures, particularly the rampant sexualization perpetuated by social media. Urging parents to reconsider granting smartphones to their children, they emphasize the need for proactive measures to shield them from harmful online influences. With poignant insights and a call to action, this episode serves as a wakeup call to safeguard the innocence and well-being of our youth in an increasingly digital age.

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.
