ReGrounded: Simple, realistic ways to raise kids who care about the Earth

Kids EN ↓ 3 episodes

ReGrounded is a podcast for busy parents who want their kids to care about nature (without adding unrealistic eco-tasks to their already overflowing to-do list).Hosted by Jess, a mom of three with a PhD in Environmental Ethics, the show explores how small shifts in language, attention, and 30-second family moments can help children notice nature, build connection and grow a lasting sense of belonging to the natural world. By focusing on mindsets rather than eco-perfection, ReGrounded helps everyday parents raise kids who care. See more at https://regrounded.podia.com/.
