ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
In an era where screens dominate and children’s outdoor adventures are dwindling, “Get Kids to Play” seeks to reignite the joy of unstructured play that once defined childhood. Reflecting on a time when scraped knees and muddy clothes were badges of honor, hosts Vijay and Saumil delve into the pressing challenges modern parents face in balancing academics, technology, and free play. Building upon their acclaimed book, “Get Kids to Play!”, this podcast offers insightful discussions, expert interviews, and practical solutions to help families rediscover the magic of outdoor play. Join us each week as we champion a movement to reconnect children with sport, foster creativity and play, and promote holistic development for a brighter, healthier future.
