## Resource

Every child wants friendship, freedom, and fun. The question is where they'll find it. Catherine Price returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to talk about her new book The Amazing Generation, written with Jonathan Haidt, and why more young people are starting to question the role screens play in their lives. In this conversation, Catherine explains how tech companies compete for our attention, why so many older teens say they wish they had spent less time online, and what happens when children are given the tools to think for themselves. They discuss real friendship versus digital connection, the growing rebellion against constant screen use, the importance of boredom, hobbies, and outdoor play, and one powerful question every family should ask: If you had three extra hours every day, what would you do with them? This episode will leave you thinking differently about technology, childhood, and the person you're becoming.
