The Birder

In this mini-podcast, I do a little unpacking of a story about a young boy who had been taken out of school for behavioral challenges.&nbsp;
Two additional pieces of information I didn't mention:
<ol>
 <li>Yes, he did return to school, and yes his reading, writing, and behavior all improved after his time with the outdoor program.</li>
 <li>When introduced skillfully, children become very engaged with the activity of animal tracking because it is a "million-year-old technology" that has been practiced by all of our ancestors.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
Listening time: 8 minutes
