In this Episode, I explain why I've officially retired from F1 parties! Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau enters his six-figure motivational speaker era, proving it is somehow possible to talk for 45 minutes and say absolutely nothing. Some idiots have suggested we bring down the energy and atmosphere at the Bell Center so the Habs can win at home again. The Montreal Victoire (Women's Hockey League) have won the Cup!

Host:  Mindy McCulley, MS Extension Specialist for Instructional Support, University of Kentucky   Guests: David Weisenhorn, PhD Extension Specialist for Parenting and Child Development and Katherine Jury, MS Extension Specialist for Family Health Season 8, Episode 49 In this episode of Talking FACS, Extension specialists Dr. David Weisenhorn and Katherine Jury discuss the vital role of unstructured free play in child development. They cover the key benefits of play—physical (muscle and bone development), cognitive (problem solving and learning by doing), social (cooperation and rule-making), and emotional health—with examples like playgrounds, outdoor exploration, and even learning from minor risks such as poison ivy. Guests emphasize outdoor play, practice-driven skill building, and why free time is children's "work." Listeners can expect practical takeaways on encouraging safe, unstructured play, why less-structured schedules help long-term development, and where to find University of Kentucky Family and Consumer Sciences Extension resources for families.   Connect with FCS Extension through any of the links below for more information about any of the topics discussed on Talking FACS.

*** ONLY 35 SONGS LEFT!! *** means only 35 days.. : ) if but imagination scorn the earth - #4501 (99R23 percent 35 left) by chair house 260411 (again, William Butler Yeats from May 22, 2025) Gentleness, carried on 4,536 leaves of sound.. It's all free, And all 4,000 songs are available for free download. but it's a very peaceful and beautiful time. The vision of "piano ten thousand leaves" is to distribute it to the world for free. I hope to deliver it to the world for 1000 years to come. "piano ten thousand leaves" calm piano music project: https://soundcloud.com/chairhouse/tracks *** Listener: Your track found me at the perfect time the vibe was exactly what I needed, almost like it was meant to show up just then. ***chair house Listener: - san, Thanks for your kind message. It makes me motivated and improved a lot.. Very happy to hear that.. : ) *** Listener: you're welcome Music like yours feels like it's made from lived moments, not trends. That always hits deeper for me. Do you usually write from your own experiences or stories around you ***chair house Calmness and Gentleness from an Old Japanese Guy Mind My piano music arises naturally, guided entirely by inspiration. I never plan or prepare in advance. The rustling of leaves in the forest, the drift of clouds, the rhythm of waves on the shore, the murmuring of a stream, the stirrings of a heart in love—these natural, unrestrained movements of the mind flow directly into sound. Just as an EEG or an electrocardiogram traces the body's signals in real time, I too inscribe the movements of inspiration as they occur, shaping them into music each day. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5RWMyKH1IlfGWc9BoiX3EW?si=02afe15eb72344e2 So, to answer your question: everything I encounter in my daily life—the impressions that touch my body and heart—gradually accumulates within me, and that accumulation eventually flows out as music in its most natural form. https://soundcloud.com/chairhouse/tracks https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5RWMyKH1IlfGWc9BoiX3EW?si=02afe15eb72344e2 Gentleness, carried on 4,536 leaves of sound "piano ten thousand leaves" calm piano music project: All Tunes Free Download & Free Play in soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/chairhouse/tracks #soundcloud #piano #Japan

In this Episode, I dive headfirst into the uneasy feeling that maybe, just maybe, the doomsday crowd isn't as crazy as we thought.

In this Episode, I unpack the emotional aftermath of a heartbreaking Olympic loss and ask a bigger question: Are we still the country we think we are? For generations, Canadian identity has been wrapped in quiet confidence, resilience, unity and politeness, especially in moments of international competition. But when the gold medal slipped away in the final game, the reaction felt different. Sharper. More divided. More defensive.   Has anti-Americanism swallowed us up as a nation?  This Episode is Sponsored By: www.lesdeliceslafrenaie.com  Montreal's Best Bakery/Pastry Shop with 7 locations!

In this Episode, PM Carney made waves this week by declaring Canada is NOT a Christian country, framing the nation as secular, civic, and built on pluralism, not faith!  Meanwhile in Quebec, a Montreal-area hair salon was ordered to pay damages after a non-binary client filed a complaint over being forced to choose “male” or “female” on a booking form.  Two stories. One big question: What defines Canada today? Is it still heritage and faith, or inclusion and diversity?  This Episode is Sponsored By: www.lesdeliceslafrenaie.com  Montreal's Best Bakery/Pastry Shop with 7 locations!

The results were a bloodbath that proves why "safety" is expensive.Plus, we head to the Bahamas with a field report from Expresso King.

Rusty shares how a trip to Europe shifted his whole philosophy from equipment-based playgrounds to wild, nature-rich spaces full of loose parts, nooks and crannies, mud, water, tools, and possibility—plus why his book Adventures in Risky Play is basically a permission slip for parents who feel like childhood has gotten over-managed. Rusty reminds us that kids don't need us to manufacture wonder. They need time, space, and a little more trust.

Episode Description: Kids today can't sit still without a screen. Their days are packed from morning to night, every game has rules, every moment has a goal, and the second boredom hits, the phone swoops in. Here's what that's creating: anxious teens who become adults afraid to fail, constantly waiting to be told what to do. In this episode, Dr. G sits down with Cas Holman, the world-famous toy designer whose play systems are transforming classrooms worldwide. Cas doesn't make toys that entertain kids, she builds tools that awaken creativity and imagination. Together, they explore how modern parenting, performance culture, and screen addiction have stripped us (and our children) of something vital: unstructured play. In This Episode: • Why kids have lost the ability to entertain themselves • How constant stimulation leads to anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of failure • Why boredom is essential for creativity and nervous system regulation • How to design your home and habits to invite more play — without turning your kitchen into a jungle gym • The difference between toys that entertain and toys that teach imagination • How rigid upbringings or lack of play can block self-expression as adults • Why play strengthens relationships, community, and emotional connection • One simple way to bring more play into your day — starting right now Key Takeaways: ✅ When play disappears, so does curiosity, creativity, and confidence ✅ Adults who suppress play often feel disconnected, anxious, or creatively blocked ✅ Play isn't childish — it's medicine for your nervous system ✅ You can rewire your stress response through small, daily moments of joy and play ✅ The most powerful form of healing sometimes looks like laughter, movement, and imagination Find Cas Holman here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casholman/?hl=en Website: https://casholman.com/ Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 2:53 – What Kids Did That Adults Need to Rediscover 6:30 – Free Play vs Structured Play 12:10 – Why Unstructured Play is Critical for Child Development 17:13 – How Adults Suppress Play & the "Play Voice" vs "Adult Voice" 23:18 – Three Steps to Reconnect with Play as an Adult 34:01 – Simple Shifts: How to Make Daily Life More Playful 45:20 – How Play Strengthens Relationships & Partnerships 51:17 – One Playful Practice to Try This Week 54:29 – About the Book: "Playful" – Science, Stories & Solutions

What if boredom is the birthplace of your teen's creativity—and your sanity? And what if your own playfulness is the most powerful “parenting tool” you're not using? In this episode, internationally recognized play designer and RISD professor Cass Holman (creator of the RIGAMAJIG and author of Playful) shows us why free play—play that's freely chosen, personally directed, and intrinsically motivated—is essential for teens and adults. We talk about releasing judgment, embracing possibility, and reframing success (hint: it's not the perfect selfie at the summit). Cass explains why boredom matters, how “consuming” play (scrolling) differs from “generative” play (making), and offers practical ways moms can invite more low-pressure play into everyday life—without becoming their teen's cruise director. Guest bio paragraph:Cass Holman is an internationally recognized designer, educator, and play advocate. A longtime professor at the Rhode Island School of Design, Cass created RIGAMAJIG, a large-scale building kit used in thousands of schools and museums, and is featured on Netflix's Abstract: The Art of Design. Their new book, Playful: How Play Shifts Our Thinking, Inspires Connection, and Sparks Creativity, distills two decades of designing for play, leading workshops at places like Google, Disney, and Nike, and collaborating with child-development experts to help all of us—kids, teens, and adults—reconnect with true play. Three takeaways: Boredom is productive. Letting teens linger in boredom helps them notice what they actually need and choose self-directed, creative action. Reframe success. Swap “Did we reach the top?” for “Did we connect?”—and watch stress melt while curiosity rises. Model, don't manufacture. You don't need to entertain your teen; be playful yourself. Release judgment, embrace possibility, and let “good enough” be great. Learn more at: https://casholman.com/ Follow at https://www.instagram.com/casholman/ Learn more about your ad choices.
