Dr. Kathryn Hirsh-Pasek is a champion of play, arts and how they benefit children’s learning, and she backs up her suggested strategies with research. The author of the newly-released Becoming Brilliant: What Science Tells us About Raising Successful Children and 11 other best-sellers is a scientist on a mission. In a world dominated by digital gadgets and high-tech toys, the Temple University developmental psychology professor hopes to show the world that children learn best through old-fashioned creative play. “The real educational toys are not those that scream numbers and letters at you. Rather, they are the ones where children are in command – where they discover academic principles and master social skills,” said Hirsh-Pasek in a Temple University publication. Join us as we begin a dialogue about the important role of play in our children’s lives.
