A ’90s Summer Plan
On this episode of the Dudes and Dads podcast, the we explore the idea of a “’90s summer”. Joel shares his plan for a “hard reset” for his family, specifically during June and July, which involves removing video games and drastically reducing phone and screen time for his kids. This intentional effort aims to foster relational connection, encourage kids to be outdoors and engaged in unstructured activities like those from the ’90s, and counter concerns about excessive screen time and social isolation. We contrast this with modern anxieties about safety versus the perceived freedom of a ’90s childhood. Andy shares his approach, focusing on encouraging activities rather than removing devices, considering his family’s current life rhythms and his older son’s graduation and job. We invite listeners to share their own experiences and ideas for ’90s-style summer activities via email or voicemail.
