Children come into the world with instinctive drives to educate themselves. These include the drives to play and explore. This blog is primarily about these drives and ways by which we could create learning environments that optimize rather than repress them. Peter Gray is a research professor of psychology at Boston College. His current writing focuses primarily on the life-long value of play.
