Free play in loving, natural environments, bounded by the Golden Rule, serves as the optimal brain food with which to develop a fully functioning, socially and emotionally skilled brain.
The Golden Rule is the best of preventive medicine. It produces good emotional health, sharper intellectual capacity and, on top of it all, the crucial recognition that we are all equal, mapped within the pathways of the brain.
When children play freely, they are practicing independent self-direction –following their own star. Together with the Golden Rule this makes for the foundation of a free and peaceful world, the heartfelt wish of all people, families, and communities everywhere.
