Listen "Rain or Shine, Hot or Cold – Get Outdoors, Try Something New!"
Episode Synopsis
Has the desire to go outside in the rain – or at all – dwindled in recent generations? Dr. Rhea is back with Dr. Bauml to discuss how weather can affect play, and why it shouldn’t always stop you from heading outdoors. Listen as they reminisce on childhood memories of soggy shoes, puddle jumping, and making the most of the weather.
