  • Summary

  • 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.

    1KHO 309: Navigating Anxiety and Uncertainty | Sharon Hodde Miller, The Cost of Control
    Jul 8 2024
    In this compelling episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with author and pastor Sharon Hodde Miller to explore the intricate relationship between control, anxiety, and our modern world. Sharon shares her observations on the rising levels of anxiety, particularly among college students, and delves into the cultural shifts that have amplified these feelings over recent years. Sharon discusses how our constant access to technology and information has lowered our tolerance for unpredictability and uncertainty, exacerbating anxiety when we attempt to control the uncontrollable. She challenges listeners to reflect on their own habits of control, particularly through technology, and offers insights into the high costs associated with these behaviors. As Sharon unfolds the paradox of control, she reveals that the more we try to control, the less in control we feel, often straining relationships in the process. She highlights the alarming trend among Gen Z, who despite being physically safer than previous generations, experience unprecedented levels of anxiety. Throughout the conversation, Sharon provides practical wisdom on living within limits and boundaries, guiding children without controlling them, and becoming a non-anxious presence. She emphasizes the power of agency over control, urging us to trust in character and resist the use of fear and shame to manipulate others. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode to understand the deep connections between control and anxiety and to learn how to navigate these challenges in a healthier, more balanced way. ** Get a copy of Sharon's book here >> The Cost of Control Learn more about Sharon here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.

Best Podcast For Raising Kids

This podcast is the only one I prioritize to keep up on. The topics range enough to help in all areas of raising children, but the concept runs deep, and the roots are there for all topics, that being outside helps! I'm in awe of what I learn and regularly hear my friends learn. This podcast is a topic of discussion regularly with my friends, and it just keeps spreading as we pass it along as a suggestion to others. I cannot recommend this enough!
