Dr Stuart Brown is the founder of the National Institute for Play, with an interesting background in researching homicidal, violent, and antisocial behaviours that link to play deprivation in childhood. He is a published author who speaks, consults, and educates organisations, corporations, universities, and public policymakers about the importance of play in our lives and the unexpected, serious consequences of neglecting play. In this charming and intriguing episode, we’re talking about play deprivation, increased mental health challenges in children and the major changes in generational play.
