Summary

Childhood isn't disappearing because our kids are doing too little. It's disappearing because everything is moving too fast. In this thoughtful conversation, Grace Pouch shares why the greatest gift we can give children isn't more opportunities, more entertainment, or more efficiency, but more time to wonder, wait, create, and simply be. From long-term projects and slower family rhythms to boredom, nature, and the surprising value of doing hard things together, this episode offers practical encouragement for parents who want to protect what childhood was always meant to be. If you've ever felt the pressure to keep up, this conversation will remind you that some of life's richest moments can only be experienced at a slower pace.
