Ad text
We keep saying kids are addicted to screens. 📲 But when you actually ask them what they want, it’s not more screen time. As we move more into the spring season, I keep thinking back to this article I read in @theatlantic highlighting a survey of 8–12 year olds that found that given the choice, they’d pick unstructured, unsupervised play with friends. 🚲 Bikes. Sidewalks. Backyard chaos. Not another app. Here’s the uncomfortable part: when we reduce their freedom to roam, something fills the gap. Screens are convenient. They don’t require risk or figuring much out. Protection matters. I’m not arguing for zero boundaries. But childhood development runs on movement, autonomy, friction, and problem-solving in the real world. If we want durable adults, we need to create space for kids to practice being humans. Warm hose water and scraped knees included. Comment AMBUSH if you want the articles and ideas shaping how I think about this delivered to your inbox every Friday AM (no spam!). 📬
