Drawing on evidence from anthropology, psychology, and history, he demonstrates that free play is the primary means by which children learn to control their lives, solve problems, get along with peers, and become emotionally resilient. A brave, counterintuitive proposal for freeing our children from the shackles of the curiosity-killing institution we call school, \"Free to Learn\" suggests that it s time to stop asking what s wrong with our children, and start asking what s wrong with the system. It shows how we can actboth as parents and as members of societyto improve children s lives and to promote their happiness and learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Gray\u003c\/b\u003e is a research professor in the Department of Psychology at Boston College.
