1KHO 863: Just Because You Have a Bad Day Doesn't Mean You Have a Bad Life | Dave Boden, Raising Gen Alpha

from The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast · host 1000 Hours Outside

The world our kids are growing up in has changed faster than most of us can keep up with, but this conversation left me more hopeful than afraid. Dave Boden shares practical wisdom for raising Gen Alpha in an age of anxiety, AI, endless screens, and constant pressure to perform. We talk about resilience, emotional health, why kids need stretch zones instead of comfort zones, and how parents can help children build the kind of character that will matter no matter what the future looks like. If you've ever wondered how to prepare your kids for a world that didn't exist when you were growing up, this episode will leave you encouraged and equipped.
