• 1KHO 501: Screen Time Too Soon Creates Highly Impulsive Kids | Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, Glow Kids

  Modern screen time isn’t just harmless entertainment—it’s reshaping our kids’ brains. In this summer mashup with Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, we explore how immersive, interactive tech—especially in early childhood—alters neurological development and leads to impulsivity, poor focus, and even addiction. Packed with clinical insights and hopeful strategies, this episode is a wake-up call for parents who want more for their kids than digital babysitters. Learn how early tech exposure chips away at curiosity, creativity, and resilience—and what you can do instead to help your child thrive in the real world. *** Get your copy of Glow Kids here Get your copy of Digital Madness here Learn more about Dr. Kardaras and all he has to offer here Learn more about your ad choices.

• 1KHO 500: Childhood Starts Ending the Day the Smartphone Arrives | Kim John Payne, Simplicity Parenting

  What happens to a generation when screens become the centerpiece of childhood? In this powerful 500th episode, Ginny Yurich is joined by Kim John Payne, author of Simplicity Parenting, to explore the quiet crisis unfolding in families across the world. From rising anxiety to declining play, from screen dependency to emotional disconnection—this conversation exposes how the very sanctity of childhood has been breached, often in ways we didn’t see coming. But there’s hope. Together, Ginny and Kim unpack the power of simplicity, self-directed play, boredom, and presence—not just as parenting strategies, but as radical acts of resistance in a culture of overwhelm. Whether you’re drowning in activity or feeling the pressure to conform, this episode offers a lifeline back to what matters most. Childhood isn’t gone—it’s waiting to be reclaimed. ** Get your copy of Simplicity Parenting here Learn more about Kim John Payne and all he has to offer here Learn more about your ad choices.

• 1KHO 499: What Have We Done to Childhood? | Dr. Peter Gray, Free to Learn

  What Have We Done to Childhood? That’s the question at the heart of this gripping conversation with Dr. Peter Gray, author of Free to Learn and one of the world’s foremost researchers on human development and education. In his fourth appearance on the podcast, Dr. Gray unpacks how cultural shifts—from agricultural hierarchies to today’s anxiety-fueled overprotection—have stripped childhood of its most essential ingredients: freedom, trust, agency, and play. What we call “normal” now—overscheduling, overcontrol, and constant performance pressure—would be unrecognizable, even unthinkable, in every previous era of human history. This is one of the most urgent and thought-provoking episodes we’ve ever released. It explores the deep cost of replacing play with programming, curiosity with curriculum, and independence with obedience. We don’t need more rigor—we need restoration. If we want to raise kids who are emotionally healthy, socially competent, and equipped for a rapidly shifting world, it starts by asking hard questions. What have we done to childhood? And what can we still do to get it back? ** Check out Dr. Peter Grays Substack here Get your copy of Free to Learn here A huge thank you to our sponsors!

• 1KHO 498: How to Develop Brains That Are Capable of Enjoying Success | Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, What Do You Say?

  If our kids are achieving but not thriving, what are we actually working toward? In this profoundly helpful and eye-opening conversation, Ned Johnson and Dr. William Stixrud—authors of What Do You Say? and The Self-Driven Child—return to share powerful insights about raising kids who can handle stress, stay motivated, and actually enjoy their lives. We talk about what it means to be a non-anxious presence, how our words and behaviors shape our children’s mental health, and why the “Yale or fail” mindset is doing far more harm than good. Packed with specific phrases to use (and avoid), guidance on school pressure and tracking apps, and wisdom from decades of working with anxious families, this episode offers a better way forward. If you’ve ever worried about whether you're doing enough—or doing it right—this one will help you exhale and refocus on what really matters: raising kids with resilient brains, meaningful relationships, and the capacity to experience joy. ** Learn more about Bill and Ned here Get your copy of What Do You Say? here Get your copy of The Self-Driven Child here Get your copy of The Self-Driven Child workbook here A huge thank you to our sponsors!
