The Unschool Space

#38 How children naturally educate themselves, with Peter Gray, author of Free to Learn


Listen Later

I’m so delighted to be talking today with Peter Gray, author and research professor at Boston College. Many of you will have read his wonderful book, Free to Learn, or his regular writing for Psychology Today about children, play and learning.

Among many things, we talk today about his experience of self-directed education through his son, what self-directed children are doing that makes their learning so different from what happens in schools, what he learned through his research into unschooled children, and his inspiring vision for learning in the future. 

You can find Peter Gray's writing at: Peter Gray Ph.D. | Psychology Today
