Description
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.

I love this podcast! It's so encouraging, not just to be outside (obviously it is that!) but just to cherish the time you're given with your children and to make each moment intentional ♥️ we've not yet hit 1000 hrs in a year (850 was our closest last year!), but this encourages us to keep getting out there and keep making memories!
Ginny is real and relatable (I'm also a homeschool mama to 5), and absolutely I love all the authors she interviews! It fuels me with essential reminders and new inspiration needed to live an intentional well rounded life!
Love this podcast! it fun and motivates me to do more and GET OUTSIDE! Such great interviews and inspiration!
One of the best podcasts out. It has changed me and challenged me as a parent and a person. So many great interviews and questions being asked. Ginny is a great interviewee. I love her thoughtful and on point questions. She really has a pulse for what parents are looking for.
I enjoyed those poems and think it's really neat that Rachel included them in her book! Showcasing lesser known poets! 😊
Love this!!
great episode!!
Loved this!!
