The following podcast is a dear media production.

Welcome to Raising Good Humans.

I'm Dr. Eliza Pressman, and today's guest is Lisa Zaretsky, who is a beautiful, incredible early childhood

educator.

She has two grown humans herself, and she created something called

Play Again, which highlights the incredible learning opportunities children

encounter when they play with open-ended repurposed materials.

Lisa is a magical teacher.

She was a teacher to my little's when they were babies and I met some of my closest friends in her

class actually. So I will tell you I asked Lisa last minute to talk to everyone about staying home with your kids without necessarily a lot of

materials and how you can plan to connect, get through the day, and come up with interesting ways to use already existing

moments and items in your house.

items in your house framing how to approach play with your baby and toddler

because we know people are going to be

homebound for the foreseeable future and this is useful forever when you're playing with babies and toddlers.

But how can we frame it so that it doesn't feel so prescriptive

and you just have such a beautiful philosophy

that I don't even want to talk anymore.

You just go.

Well, thank you.

That was a very kind introduction.
