Without needing to ban screens, be a perfect parent, or spend every weekend out bush.
Rewilding Childhood is your sanity-saving roadmap to a screen-light family culture—where curiosity, play, and real connection come naturally again.
Every day, millions of parents hand over the iPad just to get a moment of peace. But that moment adds up: kids now spend more time on screens than sleeping or playing outside.
Over time, this invisible shift rewires their brain—reducing focus, emotional regulation, and creativity—while screen developers profit from your child’s attention span.
This guide shows you another way. Not a ban. Not a guilt-trip. A real, practical plan to help your child rediscover joy, movement, and connection—with tools that actually fit your life.
Just one hour of outdoor play per day increases attention span by 25% and reduces emotional dysregulation by 50%. This guide gives you easy swaps that work—even on your busiest days.
Screens train kids to crave fast rewards. But nature-based activities hit the same pleasure centres—without the crash. You’ll learn exactly how to use this to your advantage.
No time? No problem. Get access to a “Quick Win Toolkit” for tired days and tantrum moments—activities so easy they take less energy than turning on Netflix.
Our screen detox plan uses neuroscience, nature, and curiosity—not restrictions. Just follow the steps and watch your child shift from passive consumption to active adventure.
