💡Why Play is Essential for Growing Minds 🌟 Neuroscience shows that early childhood is a critical period for brain development, with children learning mainly through observation and imitation. Play is essential for them to process and understand the world around them. 👉Yet, many focus on academics, overlooking the power of play. A well-rounded early education should prioritize diverse play—indoor, outdoor, free play, and natural play—fostering creativity, social skills, and cognitive growth. 🔰 When children are given the space to play, they develop crucial life skills, laying a strong foundation for future learning and development. 🔴Watch the full EPISODE on YouTube and Make sure to SUBSCRIBE!!! our channel : https://lnkd.in/dU9ekSSz #PlayBasedLearning #LearningThroughPlay #ChildDevelopment #BrainDevelopment #InspireEdTalk #Podcast

Some wise words on the importance of exploration, curiosity, and creativity for kids. If they're going to thrive in an ever changing world, we need to ensure they are building the right skills for the future. Great discussion by Maya Shankar and Alison Gopnik. "... If you are trying to optimize for your kid's success... given all of the technological changes happening around us, your approach is cultivating the very skills that might be most useful in, in the future of our society. So things like flexibility, Creativity, imagination, innovation, these are the sorts of things that are gonna be more important than ever, right. Given AI and all the jobs that will become redundant in the face of AI. Like it's these skills that we're cultivating in childhood that actually might be the differentiators?" -- Maya Shankar "I think that's exactly right. And remember, the impetus for humans to develop this long childhood in these big brains in the first place is exactly that. We live in a much wider variety of environments and environments that change more than other creatures do. And that's just accelerated...we're going to have to deal with environments that are really different from the environment that we grew up in. And providing children with a sense of possibility, the possibilities for exploration, is a really good way to do that." -- Alison Gopnik (child developmental psychologist) https://lnkd.in/eHn9VzbX

Breaking Barriers: Kenyon Robison's Journey from Dyslexia to Empowering Others | Don't Call on Me Podcast Ep. 13 On this episode of the Don't Call On Me Podcast, Megan and Eryn welcome Kenyon Robison, a Certified Academic Language Therapist with a deeply personal connection to dyslexia. From an early age, Kenyon faced unique challenges that set her apart, from struggles with basic tasks to a late formal diagnosis of severe dyslexia and dysgraphia in sixth grade. Undeterred by inadequate school interventions, Kenyon and her mother fought for effective support, including years of therapy that helped her overcome the odds. Kenyon shares how these experiences fueled her determination to succeed academically, leading to honors in high school and college, a Master’s degree in education, and eventually a career dedicated to helping students like herself. As an educator and language therapist, she now provides the guidance she once needed, ensuring others don’t have to navigate dyslexia alone. Join us as Kenyon reflects on her journey, one teeming with resilience. Kenyon’s story shines a light on the vital role that family advocacy, determination, and proper interventions play in unlocking potential.

A one-off UNESCO special podcast episode for you to enjoy with a cup of ☕ (Series 3 coming soon...) Matthias Eck and Sabine Meinck join me to talk about their recently published UNESCO / IEA (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) policy brief: Why boys may need more support in building their reading motivation, confidence, and engagement. Sabine and Matthias discuss the implications of their research. The key ones are: 📕 Enhancing boys’ motivation, confidence, and engagement in reading is essential and should be emphasized in educational policy to foster their reading development. 📗 Pre-service and in-service teacher training needs to make teachers aware of the specific challenges that boys face and how gender norms affect their reading practices. 📘 Addressing boys’ underachievement in reading at an early stage, starts with comprehensive support in early childhood education. 📙 Both teachers and parents/caregivers play pivotal roles in this effort. Providing boys with access to male role models and mentors can help break down prevailing stereotypes, boosting their interest in reading.
