How a Return to Play Brightens Our Present and Prepares Kids for an Uncertain Future

About this book

FROM THE FOUNDER OF THE GLOBAL 1000 HOURS OUTSIDE MOVEMENT

The average American now spends just four to seven minutes outside each day, while we spend four to seven hours using devices with screens. Our physical, mental, emotional, and relational health has suffered--and so has that of our children.

But there is a solution: get outside!

A homeschooling mother of five and the founder of the global 1000 Hours Outside movement, Ginny Yurich explains how we got to this point--and how to get back to a healthier, more engaging relationship with the world outside.

With a mom's heart and an educator's eye, Ginny shows you
● the importance of unstructured play for children
● what boredom actually contributes to our brains
● the value of sunlight and social play
● the role of play in lifelong learning
● how to make time outside more attractive than screen time

If you want your kids to grow up curious, resilient, and with a sense of adventure and community, it's essential to make outside play a priority. This book shows you why and how.
