Childhood lost strength over decades.
Pro-adventure, not anti-screen.
Give where it’s needed most
Jonathan Haidt says the phones rewired childhood. He’s right.
Peter Gray says we did it first, by taking away every hour kids used to have to themselves. He’s right too.
Two smart people. Two real answers. Neither one is coming to your house on Saturday.
That’s the job we took. One real thing to do. Every Wednesday. Free.
September 2026 by the numbers.
Free forever. Every activity, every plan.
No ads. No data sold. No sponsored picks.
A new activity every Wednesday.
Unrestricted by default. The work comes first.
strongerKIDS is not a website with activities.
It is three things money cannot fake. A real thing to do every week. The stories that prove it works. And the one kid-gear list no brand can buy.
Two regular dads with stories, not theories.
We gave them real things to do and got out of the way.

Give Where It's Needed Most
Not sure where to point it? This is the one we recommend.
Your gift funds the whole machine. New activities, the Wednesday plan, the stories. Plus the boring parts that keep it free. We send updates so you see where it went.
Join the Wednesday Club
From $5/monthThis is the engine. Monthly gifts keep the plan landing and the library free.
The plan takes 60 seconds to read. One provocation. One antidote. Done.
- $5/month helps swap one screen hour. Every week.
- $10/month helps keep the Wednesday plan landing in inboxes.
- $25/month helps fund a steady drip of new activities all year.
You are not a line item. You are in the club. Early activities. The story behind each week's plan. The good stuff first.
Underwrite the Work
$250 and upFor foundations, donor-advised funds, and brands that give a sh!t.
Your gift fuels the whole movement. The library, the plan, and the flagship book, "Dads Who Give a Sh!t." Written by two regular dads with six kids and a pile of receipts. No experts. No heroes. Just the truth about how hard this is and exactly what to do next.
- $250 helps fund about a week of new activities.
- $1,000 helps fund about a month of new activities.
- $5,000 helps underwrite one pillar for a quarter. Fuel, Move, Mind, or Belong.
- $10,000 helps fund a full year of Wednesday plans.
- $25,000+ Founding Underwriter. Name a pillar. Logo on the site.
A logo is a thank-you. Not a co-sign. Inspirations, not endorsements. Still true here.

Coming next
The one kid-gear list no brand can buy.
Amazon sells everything. Influencers take the kickback. We take neither. We buy it, break it, and let real kids break it harder. No brand pays for a spot.
Think Wirecutter, but for raising adventurous kids. The badge brands will chase and never buy.
We are not child psychologists. We are dads who did the thing.
We kept the receipts and gave it away free. Every dollar is unrestricted and goes to the work. We show you where it lands. Ask us anything.
You give. A kid does a real thing. We show you.
A kid says “I’m bored.” A parent has a plan. The family does one real thing this Saturday. A story gets told. Another family does the same.
That is the loop. Your gift runs it.
The stories that defined us are the ones our kids should get to have too. Help us hand every parent the plan to make them happen.
