Summary
It may shock you to learn that we spend an average of four to seven minutes outside each day—while we spend four to seven 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.

Definitely motivated me to get my family outside more!

Go outside. Go outside in the morning and evening for the light. Go outside with friends because you won’t have the distractions of a house. Go outside and let your kids develop skills and confidence. My kids are tweens and teens. I wish I had read this book when they were little. I will be recommending it to any homeschool-want-to-be mama who is wondering about preschool and how early to start K. This book will give her so much hope and freedom to let the kids grow … outside.

Inspiring, reassuring and yet convicting in all the right ways.

Definitely motivated us into getting outside more, even though it’s cold out! We love summer and outdoors but the beauty of being outside and how good it is for our mental heal and the kids bodies, totally worth bundling up and going out in the cold! Ginny is so easy to listen to, as well! Thanks for such a great read!!
