FREE TO LEARN is a radically insightful conversation with Peter Gray, an American psychology researcher, and scholar. Peter is a research professor of psychology at Boston College and the author of an introductory psychology textbook. He is known for his book 'Free to Learn' (translated into 18 languages) and his work on the interaction between education and play, and his evolutionary perspective on psychology theory. Peter sat down with us to discuss the history of education, its flaws, the power of child-led education and the importance of nurturing our children and to see play as their main way to learn and develop. Could it be that ADHD is a result of a 'too rigid' and outdated conveyor-belt, one-size-fits-all, starved-of-play type of learning environment? ADHD sure did not exist prior to western society's [industrial revolution era] classrooms... Listen in and hear for yourself! We promise you tons of wisdom nuggets!
