## Resource

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the importance of play in childhood and how it shapes children's self worth and resilience.

Fillmore argues that this change is hindering children's development of crucial life skills such as perseverance and self confidence. The episode dives into the balance between safety and the necessity of allowing children the freedom to explore, learn, and grow independently.
