Description
Dr. Stuart Brown has spent his career conducting more than six thousand “play histories” of humans from all walks of life–from serial murderers to Nobel Prize winners. In this book study, we will explore how we can nurture children’s development through play, discover how schools can use play to effectively motivate students, and discuss how we define play over the course of five monthly sessions.
*Participation in this course requires participants to acquire “Play” by Stuart Brown, MD. This text can be purchased online for $5-$10, or borrowed from a public library. The cost of this course has been discounted to account for participants purchasing their own texts.
