In this power-packed episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich welcomes back renowned educational psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Michele Borba for a third time. Drawing from her incredible parenting manual The Big Book of Parenting Solutions, Michele offers practical, compassionate advice for the everyday challenges and deepest worries parents face. From sibling rivalry to biting, selfishness to screen time, she explains why parenting feels harder than ever—and what you can do today to ease the load. With wisdom rooted in decades of research and heart, Michele shares why small, consistent habits and calm modeling can lead to big transformations in our families.

This conversation is a lifeline for overwhelmed parents, covering parenting pitfalls like helicoptering and hot-housing, and offering clear strategies for raising confident, resilient, and empathetic kids. Ginny and Michele explore how to create healthy routines, set boundaries around electronics, build character in a distracted world, and—most importantly—find more joy. It’s a hope-filled and encouraging episode that will leave you feeling equipped, understood, and ready to tackle whatever parenting throws your way.
