Let’s rewild childhood, slow the scroll, and let kids grow in the real world first.
WHO WE ARE
Rewildhood is designed to help families bring more real-world childhood back into everyday life.
Our goal is to revive an analogue system of motivation inspired by the Boy Scout tradition. By pairing research on child development and healthy media use with real-world challenges and badges, the program helps parents feel confident in their media decisions while encouraging kids to move, explore, and build independence.
RESOURCES
The research is clear: kids need movement, independence, and real-world challenge.
The results are clear too: when kids learn to navigate the physical world first, they are better prepared to handle the digital one later.
What We Do
Our Field Guide
The Rewildhood Field Guide brings together research on child development and healthy media use into clear, age-based guidance for families. It offers practical tips, recommended media, and simple ideas that help parents support independence in every stage of childhood. Designed to be easy to reference and apply in everyday life, the guide helps parents make thoughtful decisions and build confidence in raising kids in a screen-heavy world.
Book Club
Our reading recommendations brings together books and series children actually want to read, organized by age to make finding the next great story easier. From funny picture books and early chapter books to graphic novels, fantasy, mystery, and teen favourites, each recommendation is chosen to spark curiosity and make reading feel like pleasure, not homework. Because the right book can still compete with any screen, while also building empathy and awareness.
Rewildhood Badges
Rewildhood Badges turns real-world effort into something kids can see and celebrate. Each challenge earns a physical badge, creating a visible record of progress and experiences over time. As kids complete challenges that build confidence, independence, and real-world skills, the badges become a meaningful collection that celebrates effort, growth, and everyday milestones.
