About
the book
My book challenges the traditional division between play and learning and makes a plea for a renewed vision to bring the two together.
Lighting up the brain
By drawing on the latest research in neuroscience and child development, I discuss how the young child’s brain not only craves play but also thrives on it. Through rich sensory experiences and playful exploration, children forge new neural pathways, laying a solid foundation for future learning and growth.
The book contains tons of fly-on-the-wall films that illustrate the points and there are over 50 activities provided to get started.
I believe that there is no doubt, according to all the latest research, that the brain loves to play – and it is time that as adults we got on board with this notion too.
