Welcome back to The Warrior Way, the official podcast of the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District. I’m your host, Superintendent Mark Greathead, and today we’re going to discuss a topic that was the subject of our district-wide book study this past year - The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt.
One of the key themes of the book is how modern childhood has shifted away from unstructured, imaginative, and often outdoor play - and what that means for our kids. Joining me today to talk about this and how we can encourage more play-based learning is WBSD Curriculum Supervisor, Phil Short. Welcome, Phil!
Here are a few ideas that are simple but powerful:
- Backyard adventures – Give kids a flashlight and a mason jar and tell them to go on a bug hunt.
- Make-believe and role play
