There's something magical about the outdoors even if it's just your own backyard.
In this solo episode, I share how a simple 15-minute outdoor habit with my toddlers turned into one of the best parenting decisions I've ever made.
From setting a timer and embracing boredom to watching my kids imaginations blossom, you'll hear the exact steps I took (plus what research says!) that helped foster independent outdoor play.
Whether you have toddlers, preschoolers, or just need a reset after too much screen time, this episode will help you find confidence, consistency, and calm all with the help of fresh air.
