Perspective Changing book

I wondered if there would really be that much more to say after reading her first book, 1000 Hours Outside. But, wow - what a fabulous and motivating read. Ginny kindly but persistently shows reason after reason why we need to give our children a different kind of childhood than what the current norm is. So many examples of the damaging consequences of oversheduled, stressful lives and then so many benefits of what can happen when we pull back and make some adjustments.... Lots of good things to discuss and ponder!
