74. Big Play + Heavy Work

In this episode:

did you know we have 3 other senses? Proprioception, vestibular, + interoception

we’ll go through what these mean and why they’re most important for kids

what happens when these systems are underdeveloped

things that are contributing to this underdevelopment in many kids today

how to fix that without labeling kids

big play and heavy work are whole body movements

organized sports DO NOT COUNT as big play, neither does “running around”

this is the most vital aspect of childhood that’s going by the way side

how we can incorporate big play/heavy work into our lives regardless of our living situations

for the love of all that is holy: GET OUTSIDE!
