In this episode I interview Liz Wright, a children's movement and play specialist and key member of the local outdoors community. We discuss the benefits of winding career paths, how to facilitate child-led learning and the importance of movement in our lives.
If you have children in your lives and are interested in supporting their natural energy and helping them to become happy outdoor learners, then this is the episode for you.
