In this fascinating conversation, pediatric speech-language pathologist and Eat, Play, Say founder Jordyn Koveleski Gorman joins Ginny Yurich to talk about why childhood keeps getting pushed faster, why play is far more important than most people realize, and what we've lost in the move from half-day kindergarten to full-day academics. They discuss executive function, outdoor play, friendship, loneliness in motherhood, social media pressure, and why children learn best when they have space to explore the world around them. If you've ever worried that your child is falling behind, wondered whether you're doing enough, or simply needed permission to slow down and trust the process, listen in!! You'll be reminded that sometimes the most important work of childhood looks a lot like play.
