<p><b>From the Back Cover</b><br><b>"</b><b><i>Until the Streetlights Come On</i></b><b> takes us back to the cul-de-sacs and customs of our youth when play was more than just a pastime, it was a rite of passage. Rousing and replete with research, this book is a primer for preserving play and giving childhood back to its rightful owners--our kids."--Ainsley Arment, founder of Wild + Free<br/></b><br/>***<br/><br/>The average American now spends just four to seven minutes outside each day, while we spend four to seven <i>hours</i> using devices with screens. Our physical, mental, emotional, and relational health has suffered--and so has that of our children. <br/><br/>But there is a solution: get outside! <br/><br/>A homeschooling mother of five and the founder of the global 1000 Hours Outside movement, Ginny Yurich explains how we got to this point--and how to get back to a healthier, more engaging relationship with the world outside. With a mom's heart and an educator's eye, Ginny shows you<br/><br/>- the importance of unstructured play for children<br/>- what boredom actually contributes to our brains<br/>- the value of sunlight and social play<br/>- the role of play in lifelong learning<br/>- how to make time outside more attractive than screen time to your child<br/>- and much more<br/><br/>If you want your kids to grow up curious, resilient, and with a sense of adventure and community, it's essential to make outside play a priority. This book shows you why <i>and</i> how.</p>
