The second edition of The Science of Play from Dr. Stuart Brown with the National Institute for Play is here!
A new science of play and its effect on the brain has emerged from the explosion of information emerging from the social, psychological, behavioral, and biological sciences. For children and adults, play strengthens the mind and the body, straightening the path toward social competency, emotional stability, physical capability, and success. Think of a world without play... no belly laughter, or joyful smiles and nonsense baby-talk between babies and mothers, no games, from hide and seek to chess, no light-hearted flirtation, no reason to carve out space for playgrounds, no wagging tail puppies who delight everyone... you get the picture, and then, when you get serious about it and look closely and systematically at lives deprived of play, the dire consequences of a lack of play become painfully evident.
Dr. Stuart Brown has served as PlayCore’s “Scholarly Writer in Residence”, furthering the advancement of play and helping our world understand the critical importance of participating in play throughout life.
