Summary

If you’ve ever wanted your children to be happier, healthier and more successful in all that they do, then do we have the playful show for you.

Today I’ll be talking with Peter Gray, research professor of psychology at Boston College, the author of the college textbook Psychology, and the author of what I consider a must-read for parents, and those considering parenting…Free to Learn.

And that’s what we’ll talk about today, about helping our kids steer their own learning and development to help them problem solve, get along with peers, gain control over their lives, and become emotionally resilient.

That plus we’ll talk about playing with matches and machetes, the secret weapon of teaching, diabetes, 'shmiabetes', the competition for the world’s worst parent…and traveling to the UK, what’s the big fat elephant in the school room, and why all we really need to know, we could learn from Ruby Lou.

Parenting & Education Self-Improvement and Self-Help Topics Include:

  1. Why children’s creativity is so important
  2. What’s happening with children’s ‘education’ today
  3. What learning should be about for children
  4. Why 20% of boys in the US are considered mentally disordered
  5. What’s the Sudbury Valley School?
  6. Who was Ruby Lou?
  7. What it means ‘there’s no running on the playground?’
  8. Why academics is a much weightier part of children’s lives now.
  9. How the educational experience has changed, particularly for elementary school children
  10. Why children need to be able to roam free and play
  11. What are hunter, gatherer children and the importance of play
  12. What Darwinian psychology has to do with evolution and play
  13. How hunter gatherer families raised children and how children were empowered
  14. What is trustful parenting?
  15. What it means that children grow up playing with machetes and matches
  16. How to turn your neighborhood into a play-berhood
  17. Why current education may be a violation of a student’s human rights
  18. Are there more schools around that are like Sudbury Valley School?
  19. Valuable resource and homeschooling and unschooling website: alternativestoschool.com
  20. Has a Freedom to Learn blog at psychologytoday.com
