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 139: To Be a Mother is to Have Self-Doubt | Pam Lobley February Book Club PodcastPam is back!!!! She's back!!!!! Pam Lobley is a beloved guest on the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. Her episode called "We've Forgotten How to Have an Ordinary Time" ( episode #60) has been a most-listened-to episode for months in the running. In our February Book Club Pam dives into so many pertinent topics. We explore the reasons why motherhood has ramped up over the last few decades, attributing it mainly to the idea that we want to control everything and avoid taking risks. Pam points out that this fear only feeds itself, making it difficult for mothers to trust that there's another way. The discussion then moves to the teenage years, which Pam describes as being pretty crazy in terms of pace. Pam also touches on the topic of being counterculture without feeling ashamed or afraid. She acknowledges that being a mother is to have self-doubt, but stresses the need to remember that everyone is struggling in their own way. Throughout the podcast, Pam shares her honest opinions and encourages the audience to cultivate a community on purpose, which takes a lot of energy but is worth it. She also gives a shout-out to all the moms of boys who don't love sports and discusses the challenges of constantly having to deal with unexpected situations. Finally, Pam advises mothers to invest when they have the chance, as they will have their adult child for much longer than they had their young child. Pam is heartwarming, per usual. This episode is a must-listen for any mother looking to gain some insight and perspective on the joys and challenges of motherhood.

- 1KHO 136: From Fear to Brave, Raising Kids with an Adventurous Spirit | Jan Smith, Homeschool LouisianaIn this podcast, Jan Smith, homeschool mother of four grown children and Vice President of Homeschool Louisiana, shares insights on how to foster an adventurous spirit in children. Jan believes that the first five years of a child's life are crucial in shaping their perspective on the world. In this regard, she emphasizes the importance of exposing children to new experiences and helping them learn how to overcome their fears. Jan discusses how learning to manage fear is an essential step towards cultivating an adventurous spirit in children. She emphasizes the need to teach children from a young age to face their fears and to recognize their capacity for growth. Jan suggests that parents can do this by allowing children to take risks, but in small doses, so that they can learn what they are capable of and parents can learn to let go. As children grow, Jan believes that parenting is about gradually eliminating their need for parents' constant supervision and guidance. She encourages parents to recognize their children's potential and to allow them to do more than they think they are capable of doing. Jan also encourages parents to use language that inspires bravery in their children, rather than constantly warning them to be careful. Jan acknowledges that, as a mother, contending with her own fears about her children's safety and navigating the judgments of others can be a challenging aspect of fostering an adventurous spirit. She shares her experiences of doing things that other people may have disapproved of but that were essential for her children's growth and development. Jan emphasizes the importance of letting children fail when the risks are low and allowing them to learn from their mistakes. She explains that learning new skills often involves starting out poorly and making mistakes but that the process of falling and getting back up is a valuable experience in itself. In conclusion, Jan emphasizes that creating a culture of adventure in the family means allowing children to take risks and make mistakes and recognizing that their adventures are not ours to control. She shares a personal story of how she felt like something was an unnecessary risk for her child, but it was necessary for his growth. Through her experiences, Jan encourages parents to nurture an adventurous spirit in their children and to embrace the unknown with open arms. You will absolutely adore Jan and I know this episode will encourage and inspire you.
