Are we raising children—or building résumés? In this powerful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with internationally bestselling author Carl Honoré (In Praise of Slowness, Under Pressure) to explore the dark undercurrent of modern parenting: the obsession with performance. From Baby Einstein to Mandarin in the Moses basket, today’s childhood has become a race—and our kids are burning out before they even begin.

Honoré calls out the rise of the “trophy child” and reveals how hyper-parenting, micromanagement, and constant comparison are robbing kids of joy, resilience, and identity. Together, Carl and Ginny unpack why slowing down isn’t lazy—it’s revolutionary. If you’ve ever questioned the pressure to do more, be more, and push harder, this episode is your permission slip to opt out. Childhood doesn’t need to be upgraded. It needs to be reclaimed.
