Let Your Kids Play Outside- 197

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode

Do you want your children to have a happy childhood? Let them play outside! We must add more playtime to a child's day so they can learn how to be problem solvers and experience the wonder of simple playtime. 

Ginny Yurich, founder and creator of 1000 Hours Outside, and I discuss what kids need and the benefits of letting them go outside to play.
