Coming in November —

I am honored to have contributed a chapter to the new book

Raising the Nation: How to Build a Better Future for Our Children (and Everyone Else), by Paul Lindley.

In the chapter, I develop and apply the theory that childhood play is a primary training ground for self governance and problem solving, skills vital for a healthy democracy. What does it mean for western democracies if we further limit our children's access to free play?
