Episode Description from the Publisher

The average child now carries more temptation, distraction, and influence in their pocket than previous generations encountered in a lifetime. In his second appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Chris McKenna joins Ginny Yurich for a critical conversation about parenting in the digital age, why today's challenges are fundamentally different, and what families can do to protect connection, innocence, and trust without living in fear. Learn how to become the kind of parent who understands the world your kids are growing up in and has the courage to lead them through it. You'll leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a powerful reminder that the most important influence in a child's life is still a present, engaged adult who refuses to give up ground.
