1KHO 845: Childhood Is Under Siege | Dr. Crystal Miller, Kid Magic Unlocked

Childhood is slipping away a little at a time when we consistently replace movement with screens, play with pressure, and wonder with schedules. In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Crystal Miller, pediatric physical therapist and author of Kid Magic Unlocked, explains why so many kids are struggling today and what we can actually do about it. We talk about brain development, why play is anything but wasted time, how movement shapes learning, and why small changes at home or in the classroom can have lifelong effects. If you've ever looked at the children you love and thought, "There has to be a better way," this episode will leave you hopeful, equipped, and ready to help protect the magic of childhood.
