If you’ve ever wanted your children to be happier, healthier and more successful in all that they do, then do we have the playful show for you.

Today I’ll be talking with Peter Gray, research professor of psychology at Boston College, the author of the college textbook Psychology, and the author of what I consider a must-read for parents, and those considering parenting…Free to Learn.

And that’s what we’ll talk about today, about helping our kids steer their own learning and development to help them problem solve, get along with peers, gain control over their lives, and become emotionally resilient.

That plus we’ll talk about playing with matches and machetes, the secret weapon of teaching, diabetes, 'shmiabetes', the competition for the world’s worst parent…and traveling to the UK, what’s the big fat elephant in the school room, and why all we really need to know, we could learn from Ruby Lou.
