  • Contagious Joy and Discovery

    Ginny is always so excited to interview her guests and when someone is so excited about a topic it makes you excited. As a mom I appreciate her diverse perspectives and tools shared to raise happy, healthy kids. I love being outside myself but this podcast goes beyond just being outdoors. This is a must listen podcast, even if you aren’t a parent. I’ve learned so much and been deeply inspired!

  • Thank you!

    I discovered the 1000 Hours Outside concept from a few friends who shared online, right as I became a mother. We first started tracking our hours when my son was 2, and many days this challenge was the only reason I spent the energy it took to wrangle a transition-adverse boy into rain clothes and boots for even just 15 minutes. My son is now almost 5 and the foundation has been set: we spend our days outside. I cannot express how pivotal and life-making this challenge has been, and I can’t wait... more

  • I’m obsessed!

    I don’t know how she does it as a homeschooling mom of 5, but Ginny somehow is reading all these books and hosting and publishing the most educational and fun to listen to podcasts SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK!

    I can’t keep up but the ones I listen to I love and often buy the book.

    THANK YOU for the exposure and overview of topics so relevant and important to raising kids and living well in today’s world!

  • Officially homeschooling

    After many years of consideration, we have officially decided to homeschool our four children. We feel that giving them better rest, slower mornings, more time exploring outside, quality family moments and room to pursue their interests & passions is our best option forward. Navigating the road to this decision hasn’t been easy, yet listening to Ginny and her wonderful podcast & book recommendations has been a breath of hope moving forward; helping light our path ahead. Thank you Ginny for your ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1KHO 871: Children Shouldn’t Have To Wait To Move Their Bodies | Mike Huber, Embracing Rough-and-Tumble Play
Q: Can you talk about the shift from avoiding movement to embracing movement inside the classroom?
The guest explains that planning movement activities alone isn't enough; kids need power, choice, and opportunities to move their bodies throughout the day to build trust, social skills, and self-regulation.
1KHO 877: Raise Kids Who Don't Crack Under Pressure | Brandon Webb, Puddle Jumpers
Q: What is the core principle behind Puddle Jumpers?
The core principle is that children build resilience and confidence by being exposed to manageable challenges, learning from failures, and having mentors and real-world experiences that teach them how to navigate adversity—rather than being protected from all risk.
1KHO 853: The Body Remembers | AC Seiple, The Sacred Art of Slowing Down
Q: What practical steps would you recommend for someone trying to start living with more spaciousness and less chronic stress?
Start outside more often to build spaciousness, use small, gradual steps (like 10–15 minutes outside or a short walk) to ease into longer periods outdoors, and combine movement with attention to body signals rather than forceful mental control.
1KHO 853: The Body Remembers | AC Seiple, The Sacred Art of Slowing Down
Q: Can you explain the idea that the body can stay reactive even after danger has passed and what that means for everyday life?
The body can continue to react because it remembers the threat on a physiological level; recognizing this helps explain why slow, embodied practices are necessary to re-regulate and reset the nervous system.
1KHO 866: No One Wants To Grow Up To Be An Addict | Jessica Lahey, The Gift of Failure
Q: What practical tools can parents use to talk about this with teens and reduce anxiety while promoting learning and resilience?
She shares strategies like script ideas for resisting peer pressure, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the process of learning rather than end results, and promoting mastery through achievable challenges that build confidence and self-efficacy.
