The Brain Architects: Building Resilience Through <\/div>\n
Play Podcast (55min) https:\/\/developingchild.harvard.edu\/resources\/podcast-resilience-play\/<\/div>\n
“These days, resilience is needed more than ever, and one simple, underrecognized way of <\/div>\n
supporting healthy and resilient child <\/div>\n
development is as old as humanity itself: play. Far from frivolous, play contributes to sturdy brain <\/div>\n
architecture, the foundations of lifelong health,<\/div>\n
 and the building blocks of resilience, yet its<\/div>\n
 importance is often overlooked. In this podcast, <\/div>\n
Dr. Jack Shonkoff explains the role of play in supporting resilience and five experts https:\/\/developingchild.harvard.edu\/resources\/podcast-resilience-play\/#panelists share their ideas <\/div>\n
and personal stories about applying the science <\/div>\n
of play in homes, communities, and crisis<\/div>\n
 environments around the world.<\/div>\n

Academics vs Play: The False Dilemma That Some Principals Face <\/div>\n
Principals in our groups had different opinions <\/span><\/div>\n
about the characteristics of <\/span>strong learning <\/span><\/div>\n
environments in early childhood. Many <\/span><\/div>\n
acknowledged that play is an important <\/span><\/div>\n
teaching tool when working with young children.<\/div>\n
 But the majority of principals felt pressured to<\/div>\n
 limit play time in pre-K, kindergarten, and the <\/div>\n
early grades to focus on academics. In essence,<\/div>\n
 they did not always make a direct connection<\/div>\n
 between play and learning. What can we do?”<\/div>\n

The decline of play | Peter Gray | TEDxNavesink(16min)https:\/\/youtu.be\/Bg-GEzM7iTk <\/div>\n
“In this talk, Dr. Peter Gray compellingly brings <\/div>\n
attention to the reality that over the past 60 years in the United States there has been a gradual but, overall dramatic decline in children’s freedom to <\/div>\n
play with other children, without adult direction. <\/div>\n
Over this same period, there has been a gradual <\/div>\n
but overall dramatic increase in anxiety, depression, feelings of helplessness, suicide, and narcissism in children and adolescents. Based on his own <\/div>\n
and others’ research, Dr. Gray documents why free play is essential for children’s healthy social and <\/div>\n
emotional development and outlines steps<\/div>\n
 through which we can bring free play back to <\/div>\n
children’s lives.”<\/div>\n
