I was recently introduced to a wonderful blog about called “Play Makes Us Human” by Peter Gray, a Boston college research professor. It is hosted on Substack, which gives the ability for readers to comment. There is a free option in addition to paid subscriptions. Check out a few of the blog posts below!
I could not individually link each post, so click here to view the entire page of blogposts.
