  • Summary

  • In this gripping episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Dr. Leonard Sax—family physician, psychologist, and bestselling author—explains how American culture has quietly dismantled the foundation of effective parenting. From the normalization of disrespect to the overreliance on screens, Dr. Sax outlines the subtle but powerful shifts that have led to rising anxiety, plummeting resilience, and widespread disconnection in today’s youth. He warns against the illusion of safety that keeps kids indoors, over-scheduled, and emotionally underprepared—and calls on parents to reclaim their authority and their role in shaping a better, stronger future for their children. With stories from his decades of clinical work and global school visits, Dr. Sax brings clarity to a chaotic landscape. He offers an urgent but hopeful message: it’s not too late to course-correct. Real change begins when we limit toxic cultural inputs, reestablish parent-child attachment, allow kids to face real-world risk, and redefine what success truly means. This is a must-listen for any parent who feels alone, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to raise strong, joyful, unfragile kids in an increasingly fragile world. ** Learn more about Dr. Sax and all he has to offer here Get your copy of The Collapse of Parenting here Learn more about your ad choices.
