Active Play in the Classroom: Episode 1
The latest Active Play, Every Day episode: Active Play in the Classroom, challenges the traditional sedentary school model and explores how embedding movement throughout the school day through action-based learning can transform focus, behavior, academic performance, and student well-being.
Welcome to the Active Play, Every Day Podcast
Our kids are moving less than ever before. That matters. It matters for their bodies, their brains, their mental health, and their confidence.
If you believe movement matters, but daily life, packed schedules, screen negotiations, weather, homework, and tired evenings often make it feel complicated, the Active Play, Every Day podcast is for you.
Active Play, Every Day is more than a podcast. It is a movement to reclaim active, joyful play in childhood. Play isn’t extra. It is essential.
Hosted by Dr. Emily Greenwald, a double-boarded pediatrician, mom of three, and childhood wellness advocate, this bi-weekly podcast explores how daily movement shapes kids’ physical health, brain development, emotional regulation, confidence, and resilience. Most importantly, it offers families a realistic path to 60 minutes of active play every day, without guilt, pressure, or impossible standards.
