Book #15 - "Balanced and Barefoot" by Angela Hanscom (@Timbernook).
A concerned perspective on child development and the importance of play. Trades "safe" ideas for scientifically backed experience for whole-self progress.

Don't be afraid of the mess! 🙌
This can actually benefit your child's development in many ways! It allows them to explore their senses, ignite creativity, and enhance problem-solving skills.
Let them get dirty and enjoy the learning journey!

Letting children play outdoors, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, provides respite. ❤️☀️ #natureplay #outdoors #OT #educhat

Had a wonderful time speaking with people who GET play - TimberNook! Free play, outdoors, what could be better? Big thanks for having me speak at the TimberNook conference this weekend. @Timbernook #natureplay #PlayMatters #earlychildhood

Once more, with feeling: children and young people would *much* rather be playing outside/with their friends face to face than spending more time online. Can you hear me at the back? Source: digitalfuturescommission.org…
