Mom, I'm Bored, Why Don't They Just Go Play Outside?

Angela Hanscom is a pediatric occupational therapist and the founder of Timbernook, an award-winning developmental and nature-based program that has gained international popularity. She's also the author of the book Balanced in Barefoot, How Unrestricted Outdoor Play Makes for Strong, Confident and Capable Children. This episode was originally recorded and aired in May 2020, right in the heat of the pandemic, so there may be references to that within our conversation. We hope it will give you some great ideas for how to prioritize time outside with your children.
