In this new podcast, Dr. Jordan describes the costs to kids from experiencing a decrease in free play and time outdoors. He also discusses the many benefits of kids experiencing: self-directed play, chances to handle their own conflicts and problems, play with some degree of physical risk, and having the freedom to choose and direct their activities and do them for their own sake vs. for trophies and applause.
