Here I am at the Aspen Ideas Festival on the importance of play.
I start talking around 00.43.
If you’re really into this, you can go to the Aspen Ideas home page and search for “goal of parenting” for more clips of yours truly. I thought one was enough! (And here’s a piece I wrote a while back: Want to get your kids into college? Let them play at CNN.com)
Early childhood educator/public health advocate/Harvard College administrator/ journalist. Uncommon sense for the common good. Unmarketable bachelor’s degree (Harvard, anthropology) Semi-marketable graduate degrees (Johns Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania…). Career at the intersection of family, society, and schools. (Including pop-culture diversions and long stint in parenting vortex.) Forging a new path to connect all of the above.
