The Things Our Kids Will Never Experience

About this episode

The episode explores childhood experiences from the 90s and early 2000s compared to today's screen-filled upbringing.

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane and chat all about what it was like growing up in the 90s and early 2000s. From magazines, toys and TV shows to playing outside for hours, disposable cameras and the chaos of dial-up internet… we reminisce on the little things that made our childhood what it was. We also compare it to what childhood looks like now for our kids, growing up in a world of screens, social media and constant connection. We talk about parenting differences, safety, school life and the nostalgia we both feel, what we think has been lost, and what might actually be better today. It’s a warm, honest and funny conversation that will definitely take you back. Don't forget to follow us on instagram @thrivingandsurviving.pod
