Peter Gray Quotes

Some People Fear That Violent Play Creates Violent Adults, But In Reality The Opposite Is True. Violence In The Adult World Leads Children, Quite Properly, To Play At Violence. How Else Can They Prepare Themselves Emotionally, Intellectually, And Physically For Reality? It Is Wrong To Think That Somehow We Can Reform The World For The Future By Controlling Children's Play And Controlling What They Learn. If We Want To Reform The World, We Have To Reform The World; Children Will Follow Suit. The Children Must, And Will, Prepare Themselves For The Real World To Which They Must Adapt To Survive.
