In this episode, I have on the show Angela Hanscom, occupational therapist and founder of Timbernook, an award-winning nature-based program that is implemented in countries across the world. Angela started Timbernook in response to the lack of outdoor education and play opportunities for kids, bringing a refreshing perspective to the importance of unstructured play. We touch on the hands-off approach to safety, allowing children to explore freely rather than being closely monitored. Our conversation highlights how reducing pressure on kids when engaging in outdoor activities can significantly enhance their willingness to participate and connect with nature.

We also discuss how to encourage schools to adopt these ideals, focusing on the need for greater education about the benefits of outdoor play. Angela’s insights reveal the transformative impact of getting kids outdoors, increasing not only their sensory development and motor skills but also deeper connections to themselves and their environment. This episode contains a handful of ideas for parents and educators looking to enrich children's experiences in nature and beyond.
