🎧 The Childhood Ingredient We Are Taking Away From Our Kids

In this episode, Dr. Amrita Basu reflects on a quiet but powerful truth about modern childhood—something essential that many children today are slowly losing. Through personal observations and insights as a doctor and parent, she explores how reduced outdoor play, increased screen time, and disconnection from nature are shaping childhood development, emotional wellbeing, and mental health.

This conversation invites parents, caregivers, and educators to pause and rethink what children truly need to grow into healthy, resilient adults. From the importance of nature-based learning to simple everyday practices that support holistic child development, this episode offers thoughtful guidance rooted in lived experience rather than fear or guilt.

🌿 In this episode, we discuss:

• What children are missing in modern childhood

• Why kids need nature for emotional and cognitive growth

• Screen time vs outdoor play and its impact on child mental health

• Mindful and holistic parenting approaches

• Small changes parents can make to support childhood wellbeing

Whether you’re navigating parenting in a digital age or simply care about the future of children, this episode offers a gentle but important reminder of what truly matters.

When I initially thought of doing this podvast, I wasn’t sure how much I should say. Should I talk about the not so good and painful parts? Or should I just focus on the beauty of giving birth which is akin to a miracle? That's the one time you feel like a superwoman.

It's Thanksgiving week and I thought of giving thanks to my doctor who made my pregnancy a breeze.

Podcasting: India vs International

New Blog post

https://healthwealthbridge.com/podcasting-india-vs-international/

This is a #AI research post about Podcasting in India and internationally.I started podcasting in 2018 ,when it wasn't even a thing.I even wrote a short guide for novice podcasters to get started without overwhelm.That was then.Now its a different story.

Podcasting in India doesn't follow the usual international trends .Many topics podcasters make news style or interview style podcasts with bollywood stars/influencers,star health coaches ,sports stars ...you get the drift?

News podcasting or real information is hard to get from the oohs and aahs of social media adoration.In the drama of looking intense and trending many fall of the bandwagon.The poster child of that podcasting drama was " beer biceps who had a good thing going but turned out to be shallower than a tea spoon if water.He wanted to be cool while being intensely privileged or may be he had bad PR people.Theres a thing called editing and some people don't understand they have a good thing.

I have used #ChatGpt and Notebook LM to create the blog post and this podcast .Kindly

While the green heroes of India are the nation's pride,they are also great inspirations for us to do more with what we have where we are.The reason I started podcasting and blogging was always to share what I know,learn and find out.Its impossible to not share if its a good thing.Its the reason behind all my life choices and the reason I am now living in a small town.

In this season of Healthwealthbridge by Dr.Amrita I hope I can share stories of green,fun tech,books,good health ,life and more.
