Dad Classic: The Importance Of Play With Our Kids |EP144|

|EP144|On today's Dad Classic episode of Stay At Home Podcast, I open the show talking about New Years, that it's great to have fresh goals and aspirations for the new year but we also need to make sure we focus on making the change, whatever it may be, day by day.

I also mention the loss of Ken Block, one of the greatest professional drivers in the motorsports world. I talk about his career and his famed Gymkhana video series.

Lastly I talk about a thought I had over the holiday break about the importance of actually playing with our kids rather than giving them copious amounts of things to occupy their time. I reference a few article that talk about the importance for not just the kids but the parents as well to play, pretend, and immerse ourselves into that world. It's more important than you think!
