Find out valuable tips on motivating girls to enthusiastically partake in sports and physical activities. Uncover how technology can bridge the divide between structured and whimsical play for our young ones. List 2: My special guest is Lakshmi Jayanthi Meet Lakshmi Jayanthi; a mother, innovator, and an advocate for outdoor play. Rooted firmly in her belief in the advantages of childhood sports and recreational activities, Lakshmi created an innovative app designed to inspire a love for physical play beyond the screens of various devices kids are accustomed to nowadays. It brings the joy of hopping from couch cushions onto the field tactfully and effortlessly, thus promoting a healthier and sociable childhood. With a background in sports herself, she recognizes the societal role of sports play in forging communities and friendships.

Benefits of Outdoor Play Outdoor play, more than just fun and games, carries transformative powers.

It's an exciting stage where they can explore, experiment, and push boundaries, all the while developing vital skills like problem-solving, creativity, and emotional intelligence. Moreover, engaging in sports adds the cherry on top - introducing values like teamwork, discipline, and resilience that go a long way in shaping their personalities. During the conversation, Lakshmi Jayanthi recalled her own childhood experiences and the profound impact sports had on her life. Her memories of camaraderie, delightful victories, and learning to handle defeat functioned as a force to develop an app that facilitated casual sports among kids. She emphasized the significance of sports and outdoor play, highlighting how it led her to inspire children to leave their screens behind, flex their muscles, and forge new friendships. Promoting Outdoor Play for Kids Promoting outdoor play for kids is not just about encouraging them to simply 'go out and play.' It is about creating a safe, engaging, and dynamic environment that motivates them to explore and enjoy their surroundings. No two days in the park are alike, and that's the beauty of outdoor play. It provides a diverse range of experiences, from digging in the mud, chasing butterflies to an impromptu football match. In the conversation with Altovise Pelzer, Lakshmi Jayanthi shared her concerns regarding modern day kids gravitating more towards screens, resulting in lesser outdoor play....
