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 520: Learning That’s Tethered to Real Life | Morgan and Hudson Wild, Off the Couch and Into Creation
What if the most lasting lessons your kids learn didn’t come from a textbook—but from a creek bed, a moth wing, or a flashlight beam sweeping across the night? In this powerful and joy-filled episode, Ginny Yurich welcomes Hudson and Morgan Wild—two of the beloved Wild Brothers—for a conversation that’s deeply affirming for parents who want more than a screen-based childhood for their kids. The Wild Brothers share how growing up in the jungles of Indonesia shaped their imaginations, values, and creative spirit, and how those early days laid the foundation for their family-run streaming platform and their latest endeavor: a groundbreaking homeschool curriculum.
Together, 1000 Hours Outside and the Wild Brothers have launched Off the Couch and Into Creation—an eight-week curriculum that equips families to rediscover adventure, connection, and hands-on learning right in their own backyards. This episode will reawaken your sense of wonder, affirm your efforts to raise kids differently, and remind you that you don’t have to be on the far side of the world to raise explorers.
Learn more and grab your copy of the new curriculum at 1000hoursoutside.com/offthecouch and check out the Wild Brothers’ streaming platform at wildbrothers.tv.
