Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | The Importance of Play
When you were small what did you do for fun? How much time did you spend outside in free play after school, on the weekends and in the summer? Do you remember playing outside in the summer until it was too dark to see? Are our children so plugged into electronic diversion that they’ve lost their connection to the natural world? Today we’ll talk about the importance of play and why we need to promote it with our guest Dr. John Gaudet, general pediatrician in Hattiesburg and the president of the Mississippi chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
There is a #powerofplay hashtag on twitter for further ideas

And when symptoms become overwhelming, the answer for some is to turn to—alcohol and other drugs—hoping to feel better. But they don’t solve the underlying problem. Over time the symptoms worsen, disrupt brain chemistry and that exacerbates mental health issues and increases substance use. Today we’ll be talking to an expert on what we need to do to break that vicious cycle.You can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org.If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please consider contributing to MPB: https://donate.mpbfoundation.org/mspb/podcast
