Über diesen Titel

 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. Beziehungen Elternschaft & Familienleben

    1KHO 600: Remember How to Live | Catherine Price, The Power of Fun
    Oct 20 2025
    Six hundred episodes in, we’re celebrating with Catherine Price—the award-winning journalist behind How to Break Up with Your Phone and The Power of Fun. Catherine makes a simple, wake-you-up claim: our lives become what we pay attention to. She shares how a late-night moment with her newborn sparked a phone “breakup,” why a true Digital Sabbath can feel like oxygen, and how three elements—playfulness, connection, and flow—turn ordinary moments into the kind of fun that leaves you buoyant for days. From adult “extracurriculars” (like a Wednesday-night guitar class and trying rowing for the first time) to a pool game that united kids and grownups for three straight hours, this conversation shows how delight is usually inexpensive, often local, and deeply human. We also dig into the time-value paradox (why we feel too “busy” for fun yet still burn hours doom-scrolling), perfectionism in the age of social media and AI, and SPARK—Catherine’s practical path to rediscovering what lights you up. Parents will find timely cues for modeling healthier tech boundaries, nurturing real-world friendships, and helping kids protect curiosity from performance pressure. To mark our 600th episode, would you leave a review and share this one with a friend who could use more true fun in their life? It helps more families find the show and, yes, remember how to live.

    1KHO 599: The Antidote to Entitlement | Kristen Welch, Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World
    Oct 17 2025
    What happens when a mom says a bravest yes of her life—and then lets it reshape her family? In this conversation, Kristen Welch, CEO of Mercy House Global and author of Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, traces the moment a Compassion trip to Kenya turned her discontent into calling—and held a mirror up to her own entitlement. She shares how comparison erodes joy, why gratitude starts with parents (not kids), and how small household practices re-anchor a home. You’ll hear the origin of Mercy House’s work with vulnerable mothers, the surprising strength of underindulgence, and the reminder that our children watch who we are more than what we say. We also get practical: boredom as a gift in a noisy world, how hurry kills gratitude, simple screen-time swaps that nudge kids toward books and backyard wonder, and why letting kids fail is the only way to help them launch. Kristen’s fresh empty-nest story—dropping her youngest at a huge university, resisting the urge to rescue, and trusting God to go where she can’t—will stay with you. If you want a family culture marked by contentment, resilience, and compassion, this episode offers a clear path you can start today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    1KHO 598: Let Beauty Do Its Work | Ruth Chou Simons, The Way of the Wildflower
    Oct 16 2025
    What if the cure for our anxious, overconnected lives is right outside the door? In this deeply human conversation, Ruth Chou Simons—artist, author, and mom of six—joins Ginny to explore how beauty, especially in nature, becomes a real antidote to hurry, worry, and screen-saturated living. From Jesus’ invitation to “consider the lilies” to the way wildflowers preach resilience, individuality, and dependence, Ruth shows how getting outside forms our souls as much as it strengthens our kids. You’ll hear vivid stories: morning glories as a picture of friendships that ebb and bloom; the extra-beautiful columbine as a reminder not to shrink back; the ache of a changing home as children launch, and the bluebell pointing us toward a truer, lasting home. Ruth also shares the moment her son suffered a serious mountain-biking injury—and how she painted wildflowers in the ICU, choosing to shift her gaze from fear to the faithful Gardener. Together, she and Ginny talk about making unhurried lives in hurried times, giving our families “dosing and spacing” for wisdom, and packing a small “to-go” kit of tactile hobbies so we reach for creation, not just a screen, when life turns. Listen in if you’re longing for a gentler rhythm, a sturdier hope, and a practical way to invite beauty into your ordinary days—starting with one walk, one flower, one moment of attention.
