The average American child spends around four to seven minutes a day in free play, but four to seven hours on a screen. When kids play outside, it helps them in every facet of their development: cognitive, physical, emotional and social. Ginny Yurich, founder of a global movement called 1000 Hours Outside, shows us how to bring back balance between virtual life and real life in childhood and beyond. 

Childcare will be available and light refreshments will be served. Check us out on facebook: @John Wesley MOMCO or Instagram: @JWMomCo. Contact Lauren Kornuta at 225-348-2494 for more information.
