The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

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

60 min • 11 juni 2025

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.
