About
It may shock you to learn that we spend an average of 4-7 minutes outside each day, while we spend 4-7 hours using devices with screens. Needless to say, our physical, mental, emotional, and relational health has suffered. But there is a ready solution: get outside!
A homeschooling mother of five and 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 to your child than screentime
and much more
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.
