The Opposite of Play is Despair | Can play make children good?

While most moms can intuit that play is good for children, not many understand that play may be what helps make children good. (You know, in the virtuous sense.) I'm thrilled to welcome Rachel Woodham back to The Commonplace to discuss her new book, Let There Be Play (CiRCE). Tune in as we discuss the crisis of play in the Western world, the vice growing in our children, the way to bring play to the school table, and so much more. — Buy the book: https://circeinstitute.org/product/le...
