Childhood lost strength over decades.
We are on a mission to reverse the decline and build the childhood magic back.
Our part in this goal is simple: we give you ideas for your kid to do. We'll email it to you every Wednesday and then add it to this website with hundreds of other ideas from parents like you to discover.
We want to keep this free for all parents, but if you like this mission and can support it, we can keep it that way. Perhaps you see the concerns with your own kid, and have read about many of the issues.
Regardless, the experts now agree this is real and needs to be reversed. Kids need more adventure to form memories, more risk exposure to learn from, and more outdoors to explore to build confidence. We're just two dads who raised these kinds of kids, and want to help give back to share the insights.
You read Haidt. You nodded.
Then screen time won anyway.
You do not need another lecture. You need a next step. We hand you one every week.
Pro-adventure, not anti-screen.
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.

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 experts. 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.
