Active Play, Every Day

Active Play, Every Day is more than a podcast. It is a movement to protect childhood through motion. Hosted by Dr. Emily Greenwald, pediatrician, mom, and advocate for childhood health. The show explores how daily movement shapes kids’ bodies, brains, and emotions. You will hear from experts in pediatrics, psychology, physical therapy, education, and play research, along with real parents navigating real life.Episodes cover active play ideas, risky play, neurodiversity, sleep, motivation, screen-time balance, school challenges, sports burnout, and how to build sustainable habits of movement at every age. The goal is simple. Help every family find a realistic path toward 60 minutes of active play every day. Because play is not extra - it is essential.
