When did play become something we were supposed to outgrow?

Clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Aldrich Chan explains why play isn’t just fun—it’s considered a primary emotional system, helping us develop empathy, connection, spontaneity, and intuition.

Think back to the moments as a child when you completely lost track of time.

You weren’t trying to optimize yourself.

You were absorbed, spontaneous, and fully yourself.

Maybe adults need more of that, too.
