Raising Resilient, Happy Kids: The Roles of Free Play and Other Independent Activities in Children’s Healthy Psychological Development
About this Event

Want your child to succeed in school—and in life? Let them play.

Join Greensboro Day School for a thought-provoking presentation by renowned developmental psychologist Dr. Peter Gray. Drawing on decades of research in psychology, education, and evolutionary biology, Dr. Gray makes a powerful case: play isn’t a break from learning—it is learning. Come away with a renewed understanding of your child’s most natural and powerful learning tool—and how to protect it in a world that undervalues it.

The McLendon Speaker Series is an educational lecture series produced by Greensboro Day School. The series features national and local experts speaking on current topics in the fields of education and parenting. All speaker events are free and open to the public.
