Want to get your kids away from screens and into the great outdoors? In this episode of The Family Business with the Alessis, you'll discover why getting your kids outside is more important than ever for their mental, physical, and emotional health.
Join Steve Alessi, Chris Alessi, and Christopher Muiña as they dive into the joys and challenges of modern fatherhood, from raising adventurous sons to creating meaningful family traditions in the great outdoors. You'll hear them share real stories of muddy playgrounds, backyard gardening, hands-on parenting, and the simple pleasures that come from outdoor exploration.
Drawing from their own upbringings—before the age of smartphones—Steve, Chris, and Chris explain the scientific and personal benefits of letting children interact with nature: reducing stress, boosting social skills, improving sleep, and even developing a sense of responsibility.
