About this listen

In this episode, "Saying Yes to Play" hosted by Heidi, she explores the transformative power of play in children's lives. Heidi dives into what play really means—not just as a fun activity, but as a crucial means of creativity, problem-solving, and emotional growth for children.

Heidi discusses the science behind play, explaining how it helps children build cognitive abilities, enhance social skills, and strengthen their emotional resilience. By allowing children the freedom to explore, imagine, and create, they can experience greater joy and curiosity, which directly contributes to their overall development.

The podcast also explores the profound benefits of outdoor play, highlighting how time spent outside can nurture a child’s sense of adventure and wonder while improving their physical health. Heidi provides practical tips for parents on how to incorporate more playtime into their daily routines, focusing on the importance of slowing down and connecting with nature.
