Ep. 56: Making Time for Play


Listen Later

Our topic in this episode is a fun one: making time for more play! We know how important play is for kids. But when we grow up, we somehow start thinking about play as optional or frivolous or childish. Spoiler alert: it’s none of those things and is actually fundamental to our health and well being!

We share:

- The science behind the importance of play at any age

- Examples of types of play and play styles
- Obstacles that can get in the way of play as adults
- Our experiences with play as kids and as adults
- 4 strategies for making time for more play every day


What’s your favorite way to play as an adult? How do you make sure you get recess during your day?
