Episode #29: Play Activation and The Free to Play Summit with Sally Haughey

Episode 29 - The Magic of Littles Podcast

Today’s episode is the last episode of Season 2! I talked with Sally Haughey, the Founder and CEO of Fairy Dust Teaching. We talked about how children need to be lifted and celebrated instead of shamed and compared.

We also talk about the importance of children having the right to play, and we don’t need to take them out of that! I’m so excited to talk more about her Free to Play Summit that is happening online on July 12-16. There were so many great nuggets during this interview with Sally, and I can’t wait for you to listen.
