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.

Life changing book! It confirmed my “gut feeling” that we are over-scheduling and managing our children too much. Well researched, this book will both encourage you and gives you peace of mind to let go a bit more.

I am very grateful to have found the 1000 hours outside podcast early in my parenting and that is probably also why it took me a while to purchase and read this book - I thought I already knew what Ginny was about to say. I was wrong. This book is a GREAT read, even to someone who has religiously followed the podcast. Beautifully written, engagingly read aloud by the author herself. This book will be my staple gift to all my new parent friends moving forward!

Every parent needs this book.
