It is my opinion that mothers are the best founders because we allow our experiences to inspire us to make what we want to see...

On this Busy Moms episode, Jen Wirt, founder and CEO of Coral Care shares how her own experience as a mother of two led her to build a pediatric therapy company focused on making speech, occupational, and physical therapy easier to access, with insurance coverage and in person care.

Jen highlights Coral Care’s State of Pediatric Development report, what the data says about regulation, screen time, childhood structure, and why parents often need more validation and faster pathways to support.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How modern family routines may leave less room for open-ended play, calm time, and child-led exploration.
• Practical ways to create more breathing room, including morning playtime as a reward and “bin time” after school with open-ended toys.
• Screen time as both regulating and dysregulating, depending on the child and the content, and why digital content should not replace real interactive speech and play.
• Advice for parents: let older kids be bored, and trust your gut if you think something is off.
