    Does Risky Play Scare You? Why Tree Climbing, Nature Play & Outdoor Freedom Help Kids Grow Safer and Stronger | Josée Bergeron

    Does risky play make you nervous as a parent? In this episode, we explore why tree climbing, nature play, outdoor freedom, and healthy risk-taking help kids become safer, stronger, more confident, and better at judging real-world risks. Welcome to Part 2 of the Screen Less Play More conversation with Josée Bergeron of Backwoods Mama, author of "Beyond the Front Door: Embracing Nature for a Happier and Healthier Family." Josee and host Cynthia Dvorak talk about why tree climbing, nature play, loose parts, sit spotting, and outdoor freedom are some of the most powerful ways to help kids become safer, stronger, calmer, and more confident. We dive into the science and real-life parenting side of risky play for kids, including why children who are allowed to climb, jump, spin, run fast, and test their physical limits actually become better at judging risk later in life. Josée shares practical ways to help kids engage in healthy outdoor risk without pushing them beyond what their bodies are ready for, including one of my favorite takeaways:  never place your child into a risky play position they can't get into on their own. We also explore: why tree climbing is so good for child development how risky outdoor play improves balance, motor skills, and body awareness what to do when your own parental anxiety kicks in how to slowly introduce outdoor freedom if your child has been overprotected why nature-based play helps kids become less anxious and more resilient how children learn better safety judgment through experience Beyond risky play, this conversation opens up beautiful ways to help children feel deeply connected to the outdoors through: sit spotting and mindfulness in nature grounding exercises for anxious kids nature journaling prompts "interview a tree" imagination activities creating a simple nature table indoors bird feeders and wildlife-friendly family traditions screen-free outdoor activities for every season This episode is perfect for parents who want: less screen time more outdoor play calmer kids confidence-building activities nature-based parenting ideas practical ways to raise independent children If you've ever wondered whether tree climbing, risky play, and outdoor freedom are actually good for your child's safety and development, this conversation will completely reframe the way you think about outdoor childhood.

    Are screens, busy schedules, and modern life keeping your kids indoors? In this episode of Screen Less Play More, Cynthia talks with "Backwoods Mama" Josée Bergeron, author of Beyond the Front Door, about why outdoor play, nature connection, and even a little risky play are essential for raising happy, healthy kids. It all started with a moment many parents can relate to: complete overwhelm. One evening, pregnant and exhausted, Josée walked out of her house and drove to a quiet lake- and jumped in the frigid water! That moment sparked a powerful realization that her family had become disconnected from nature. In this conversation, we explore how parents and teachers can bring outdoor play back into everyday life, even if they live in cities, have busy schedules, or struggle with kids who prefer screens. On this episode of Screen Less Play More parents and caregivers and educators will learn: • Why kids desperately need outdoor play and nature time • The three biggest barriers keeping families indoors: cities, schedules, and screens • Simple ways to reduce screen time and get kids outside without adding stress • Easy nature activities for kids like seed bombs, noticing walks, dandilion playdough, and mud kitchens • How risky play and unstructured outdoor play build independence and confidence • Why nature connection improves kids' mental health, focus, and immune systems • Practical ways to encourage teens to spend time outdoors Josée also shares creative spring outdoor ideas for families, including dandelion play-dough, gardening with kids, nature walks, and backyard exploration. If you want your children to love nature, play outside more, and develop independence, this episode is full of practical ideas any parent can start today.

    Too Much Screen Time At School? Why Parents Are Suing Education Technology Apps - Emily Cherkin

    Why is educational technology at school different, and potentially more dangerous than screen time at home? Emily Cherkin explains why edtech is not the solution it promised to be. Kids are getting on YouTube, Discord, and unrestricted internet access at school—and parents are being left in the dark. In this bonus episode of The Screen Less Play More Podcast, host Cynthia Dvorak sits down with Emily Cherkin, nationally known as The Screen Time Consultant, to unpack what's really happening inside tech-heavy classrooms—and why parents should be paying close attention. Emily recently testified before the U.S. Senate on the harms of EdTech, and in this conversation, she explains how school-issued iPads and classroom technology are exposing kids to online predators, violent content, self-harm videos, spam, and misinformation—often during the school day. What many parents assume is "safe, educational screen time" may actually be putting children at serious cognitive, emotional, and developmental risk. Parents are often told that classroom technology, 1:1 devices, Chromebooks, and school-issued iPads are "safe" and "educational." But the research shows that edtech is making kids more distracted, making them dumber, stealing personal information, and exposing them to online danger.  Emily also explains her class action lawsuit against PowerSchool. PowerSchool products including Schoology and Naviance are used by the vast majority of U.S. public schools. The lawsuit raises serious concerns about student data privacy, children's data collection, parental consent, and whether student information is being monetized by EdTech companies. In this episode, we discuss: iPads in the classroom and elementary school screen time Why EdTech in schools is replacing human instruction instead of supporting it How excessive screen time at school affects focus, behavior, emotional regulation, and social skills Why kids and young adults are struggling with eye contact, communication, empathy, and real-world human interaction Why most media literacy programs fail—and how real critical thinking can be taught without screens How misinformation, deepfakes, and AI tools like ChatGPT make truth harder for kids to recognize How media literacy has been co-opted by tech companies and why true critical thinking does not require a screen What parents need to understand about misinformation, deepfakes, AI tools like ChatGPT, and truth in the digital age This conversation is essential listening for parents worried about: Screen time and child development Technology in elementary school EdTech data privacy and student surveillance Online safety for kids at school Digital addiction, attention issues, and emotional dysregulation Public school iPads and 1:1 device programs and Chromebooks This episode is not anti-technology. It is pro-child, pro-parent, and pro-informed consent. 🎧 If you've ever searched: "Are iPads bad for kids?" "Too much screen time at school" "EdTech dangers" "YouTube access in schools" "Student data privacy apps" "Should kids use iPads in elementary school?" This episode answers those questions!!

    5 Internet Safety Mistakes I Wish I'd Known About Sooner - What Every Parent Should Know

    Are your kids safe online? From social media oversharing to gaming chats and school apps, today's children are building a digital footprint from the day they're born. In this episode of Screen Less Play More, Cynthia Dvorak sits down with cybersecurity expert Chad Rychlewski of Cybersecurity Parents to uncover the biggest mistakes parents make—and how to fix them. Learn practical tips for: Protecting your child's digital footprint from birth onward Avoiding common cybersecurity pitfalls in social media, apps, and online games Freezing your child's credit to prevent identity theft Teaching kids safe habits around browsers, passwords, and online privacy Spotting signs of cyberbullying, doxxing, and online scams Chad shares his experience guiding families through real-world cybersecurity challenges, plus step-by-step advice from his book Cybersecurity Parents: Super Cyber Smart Parenting for the Digital Age. Whether your child is in preschool or heading off to college, this episode is packed with actionable strategies every parent needs. Episode takeaways: Parents often overshare personal details about their children online. Freezing a child's credit can prevent identity theft. Active footprints are created by what we post online. Passive footprints include metadata and tracking data. Regular conversations about online safety are essential. Educational technology can track children's data without their knowledge. Doxxing involves maliciously sharing someone's private information. Cyberbullying can occur in group chats and online games. Using safe browsing modes can protect personal information. Don't use Google! Parents should regularly check privacy settings on apps.
