SFP 149: The Science Behind Outdoor Play + Movement [with Carla Hannaford Ph.D.‪]‬ Simple Families

    • Parenting

Last week, we had a primer on the importance of outdoor play with Linda Åkeson McGurk. This week, I am re-airing an important follow up piece on the scientific perspective on this topic.




In today’s episode, I speak with Carla Hannaford, world-renowned biologist and outdoor advocate, about her studies on the connection between movement and brain development. If you are brand new to learning about brain development, tune into Episode 92 for a simple, quick overview before diving into this one.




The Mental UN-load is coming March 14th!




The Mental Unload is launching next week! This program will lighten the load of parenthood, reserve your spot here.
