Join Sijo Abraham, educator and host of The Dropout Teacher Podcast, as we gently unpack the pressure to push academics on young kids. Drawing from real stories—like a Chennai preschool's pretend shop sparking literacy without drills—and research from Zosh’s 300-study review and Farran’s Vanderbilt data, discover why play builds deeper skills than early worksheets. No lectures, just heartfelt insights on curiosity over curriculum.
Listeners will love the three “try tonight” steps: free play blocks, open questions, and skill-spotting to nurture wonder at home. Perfect for parents and teachers rethinking routines.
