The importance of getting your kids outside with Ginny Yurich
Ginny Yurich, the founder of 1000 Hours Outside, joins Aro Co-founder Joey on this week's episode of The Aro Podcast. During their conversation, Ginny shares the story behind the 1000 Hours Outside movement and why it's crucial to be intentional about ensuring your children spend time outdoors, including the profound benefits of extended outdoor play on kids' development and why deep play is so vital. Joey also asks Ginny about her upcoming book, 'Until the Streetlights Come On,' and delves into the changing landscape of play over the last 30 years. Ginny shares the science of what happens in kids' brains during free play and the downside of overscheduling. She also highlights the startling contrast between the time kids spend outside versus on screens and the underestimated value of boredom for both children and adults. Their discussion even touches on child prodigies and how the pressures of college acceptance are impacting not only kids but parents as well.
