The Happy Student show

Summary: We are obsessed with being busy. It's a status symbol. "Oh, I'm so busy" translates into I'm really important. But that's silly because being busy isn't good for you. It actually slows you down, makes you less efficient, and hurts your brain. That's definitely not what we want for our kids! Today's episode goes through 10 tips to help you and your children be less busy, have more free time, and promote brain health.
