In Episode #149 of the “Art of Raising Humans”, Sara and I have a blast getting to talk with Dr. Anthony DeBenedet. Dr. Anthony is a practicing gastroenterologist, author, and behavioral-science enthusiast. He is the author of Playful Intelligence: The Power of Living Lightly in a Serious World, a book about the surprising ways that playfulness influences adulthood. He is also coauthor of Unplug and Play: The Ultimate Illustrated Guide to Roughhousing with Your Kids and The Art of Roughhousing: Good Old-Fashioned Horseplay and Why Every Kid Needs It, parenting books about the importance of parent–child physical play. His interviews and writings have run in various media outlets, including the New York Times, the Today show, the Washington Post, Psychology Today, and TIME Ideas. Dr. Anthony shares how roughhousing not only deepens our connections with our children but it actually helps wire their brains for emotional regulation. He also shares how this type of play teaches kids to get off of screens and explore more imaginative play. After this episode, parents will have all the information they need to start making roughhousing an important part of their play with their children.
