MOMENT 36: Play is More Important for Your Child’s Brain Than School | Peter Gray

The Melissa Ambrosini Show

Could play be more crucial for your child’s brain development than formal education?

In this moment, acclaimed psychologist and play expert Peter Gray uncovers the profound, often overlooked benefits of play and why it’s the cornerstone of your child’s growth.

Press play to learn: why all mammals are wired for play, how developmental outcomes differ in cultures that prioritize play, the critical role of risk-taking in building courage and resilience, how kids learn language by negotiating with their peers, and why play is crucial for developing important skills that school alone can’t teach.
