🏡 Why are children playing less freely than ever before? Over the past few decades, fears, urban planning, and modern lifestyles have reshaped childhood—keeping kids indoors and reducing opportunities for independent play.

In this episode, Jono Baggaley and Dr. Elly Hanson sit down with Tim Gill, a leading expert on play and childhood, to discuss how we got here and why it matters. We explore the impact of restricted play on child development, mental health, and creativity—and what can be done to reclaim space for free, adventurous play.

🎧 Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of childhood.
