Listen Later

Author and playspace designer Rusty Keeler drops in to discuss this quote from his book “Adventures in Risky Play: What is Your Yes?”

“And yet, I also understand that in a modern world full of pressures and constraints on children’s time in and out of school, something as obvious as play needs some scientific support and lobbying from adults who care enough to recognize that somehow without us looking, good old-fashioned free play has been limited, sidelined, sublimated, and even decimated for way too. many children in our busy, high-achieving, over-stimulated, over-scheduled, over-protected, overly biased, overly adult-oriented view of what children should be doing, accomplishing, competing and completing.”
