What is it with kids these days? They can't sit still - but obesity is on the rise. Their days are filled with activity - but more often than not, they're bored and restless. Childhood should be a time of unbridled joy, play, and learning. Instead, we have pushed our children into an abnormal environment, where they are expected to spend the greater part of their day under adult direction, sitting at desks and taking tests. We call this imprisonment schooling. What free time they have we fill with supervised instruction: team sports, tutoring, homework. As a result, we are heading toward an unprecedented crisis, with skyrocketing rates of childhood anxiety, depression, and suicide. As developmental psychologist Peter Gray explains, children come into this world burning to learn, but the enduring lesson of school is that learning is work, to be avoided when possible. In "Free to Learn", Gray shows that we can reverse the harmful effects of modern schooling and promote learning, self-reliance, and curiosity in our kids by returning to our hunter-gatherer roots. School is an artificial construct, a relatively recent invention in our evolutionary history which arose with the development of agriculture. But as Gray points out, children's minds and their natural instincts to learn were shaped when humans were living as hunter-gatherers. In hunter-gatherer societies children were left to play freely - and over time they absorbed the practical skills they needed to survive by watching their elders, and developed social skills by having to negotiate with other children while playing. The counter-cultural movement known as "unschooling" is growing as more and more parents and teachers are coming to realize that anxiety and competition in the classroom inhibit learning; rather, self-chosen and self-directed play are what engage the mind as effective learning tools. As Gray argues, education and learning should call upon the core aspects of our human nature - curiosity, playfulness, and sociability - instead of inhibiting them. A brave, counterintuitive proposal for freeing our children from the shackles of the curiosity-killing institution we call school, "Free to Learn" shows that it's time to stop asking what's wrong with our children, and start asking what's wrong with the system.

great insights on parenting and learning
評分不齣意外是本年度讀(實際是聽的)過的最後一本書瞭。其間我想找找其中文版,搜來搜去搜不到,後來百度瞭纔知道其中文譯名是《玩耍精神》,簡直無比完美傳神的翻譯。《園丁與木匠》告訴我們6歲前孩子的唯一任務就是“玩”,而這本書告訴我們,“玩”對孩子來說是一種持續的事業,孩子從玩兒中學到各種各樣的東西,而這些東西對他們的將來會産生極大的影響。可惜的是,在玩中學到的這些東西,成年人看不到或者感知不明顯。而進名校,考高分纔是觸手可得的實惠,自然會贏得更高的投入權重。本書中的Sudbury Valley School的例子令人震撼,這種極端的“成年人靠邊站”的模式成為瞭一種“自我學習”理論的最強有力的證據。本書對今天的父母能有什麼啓發呢?是否至少能避免“提前學習與年齡脫節的所有東西”?我不樂觀。

“玩耍精神”的本质就是:远离成人,与其他孩子玩耍,孩子们才能学会自己做决定,控制自己的情绪和冲动,从他人的角度看问题,与他人交涉差异,结交朋友。玩耍是孩子们学会掌控自己生活、学习独立生活的前提和手段。很喜欢这本书的方法,玩耍精神,一边娱乐一边学习,棒棒哒~
評分我一直鼓励孩子多玩耍,但是我的方法比较随意,尽管我有这样一个理念,但有很多地方考虑得还不够周全,这本书恰恰填补了我的一些“断档”的想法,而且还有了更好的提示。 玩耍的力量对人的影响很大,我觉得甚至可以影响人的一生。对某些事物的爱好和追求,可能在成人之后会一...
評分从来没有人告诉我,随意地玩耍比在课堂学到更多。 作者从孩子们的心理出发,向我展示了玩耍中的孩子在想什么。他们会为了游戏的持续性,控制自己,分享自己的物品与知识,不断挑战难度,精进自己的技巧和能力。最重要的是,游戏释放了积聚在心头的压力,玩耍时没有负担,只有...
評分每一个孩子天生都是积极的,喜欢尝试的:他一张开眼睛,就尝试着到处看;他能控制自己的动作时,就开始到处爬、到处摸……但是,为什么孩子长大了,反而胆小了呢?因为每当孩子尝试着做第一步时,总有家长预见到危险性,马上惊呼“不要!危险!”就是家长这一次次的惊呼与呵斥...
