How To Get Kids Playing Outside | Playborhood Author Mike Lanza
Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark
Intro
This chapter explores the concerning decline of unsupervised outdoor play in childhood and its impact on children’s experiences. The speaker highlights the importance of community and unstructured play, advocating for safer neighborhoods to foster exploration and creativity.
Where did childhood go? No kids on bikes 🚲, no backyard chaos, no freedom.
This week, I’m joined by Mike Lanza—dad, author of Playborhood, and the guy who said “enough” and turned his front yard into a kid-powered paradise 🌳 We’re talking how screens, fear, and over-scheduling stole childhood—and how to take it back. Think: no adults, no structure, just real, messy play. And yes, it works. ⚡
