What if the biggest barrier to children's play isn't the kids—it's us? We are thrilled to chat with our special guest, Dr. Anita Bundy—the world-renowned OT behind some of the most transformative play research out there.  She explains why kids actually need to take risks in play, how she facilitates risk-reframing conversations, and why American kids have way less play than their Norwegian counterparts. You'll hear stories about autistic kids finding their people through tire forts and pool noodle creations, Anita’s “Failed It” story (yes, she keeps it real!), and discover the game-changing difference between using play as a tool versus treating it as the main event.Thank you to our sponsor OccupationalTherapy.com!  Use the code PLAY25 to support the show and get a free month of continuing education access when you sign up today at our podcast link  <a href="https://fas.st/t/Fe79v8vU">https://fas.st/t/Fe79v8vU</a>Stay informed, stay curious, and stay playful! ✏️ Sign up for our newsletter by <a href='https://forms.gle/Zu47siire24D1Dir8'>clicking here.</a> 📧 Email us a question or comment at <a href='mailto:IdeasAtPlayPodcast@gmail.com'>IdeasAtPlayPodcast@gmail.com</a> 👉 Find us on Instagram @ideas.at.play
