In todays episode, we talk about Dr. Stones research in children's development and outdoor loose parts play. This includes the PLEY project which stands for Physical Literacy and the Early Years. This project outlines the importance of developing motor skills using loose parts in children's early years. We also discuss the importance of risky play and risk taking, as well as getting into nature, on children's health and development.
