“Why Play Is the Smartest Thing You Can Teach Your Kids — Tereza Lolli on the Open Up Podcast”
On the Open Up Podcast (@officialcatalinamagee ), @terezalolli — Co–Editor-in-Chief of @biohackyourselfmedia and producer of @shealeddoc — dives into the science of movement, childhood, and brain development — and why play might be the most powerful form of early education. 🧠✨
“For brain development, pickleball, tennis, and ping-pong are incredible. Pickleball and tennis are like cousins — both strengthen coordination, focus, and neuroplasticity.”
She breaks down how critical the early years are for shaping the brain’s foundation:
🍼 From birth to age 1 — 50% of the brain develops.
👶 By age 2 — 70%.
🌱 By age 3 — 80%.
By age 8, the brain’s architecture — how a child learns, feels, and reacts — is largely formed.
The takeaway? Play isn’t just physical — it’s neurological.
Every swing, serve, and rally helps the brain grow stronger connections.
Tereza’s message is simple: let them play — their brains depend on it. 🌿
