A ground-breaking investigation into the changes in the way we are raising and educating our kids, and the importance of giving children the freedom to play and explore.

When was the last time you saw a group of kids - without adults - playing on a playground? Forty years ago, the average ten-year-old could expect to walk to school, bike to a friend's house, or play games with other kids in the street. Today, our children are supervised and controlled at every opportunity.

As world-renowned psychology professor Dr Peter Gray shows in Restoring Childhood, kids aren't depressed and anxious because of social media. Gray offers powerful new evidence to show that social media use is just a symptom of the larger problem: the disappearance of childhood as a stage of life for experimentation, play and learning you can do things on your own. And if we continue to tighten the leash on our kids, no amount of screen-time restriction will reverse the alarming mental health crisis.

Restoring Childhood is a radical examination of how societal trends - from strict curricula, to round-the-clock news coverage, to growing wealth inequality - conspired to create a fundamentally anti-child environment. If we want to raise mentally healthy and resilient kids, Gray argues, we must restore childhood to children. We must prioritise adult-free play and the time for it - in our schools, in our neighbourhoods, and as parents.©2026 Peter Gray (P)2026 Penguin Random House Audio

批評家のレビュー

Restoring Childhood is the book this moment needs. Peter Gray makes an irrefutable case for letting children be children and lays out a clear path to make it happen. This book will forever change how you see your kids and how they see themselves. (Jennifer Breheny Wallace, New York Times bestselling author of Mattering)
Peter Gray gently but firmly asks us to look at how our love, fear and obsession with perfection may be getting in the way of what our kids desperately need. Gray sits beside us, holds up the evidence, and invites us to ask, quietly and honestly, "What have we taken from childhood, and what might it take to put it back?" (Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times bestselling author of 'How to Raise an Adult')
Peter Gray is a national treasure who reminds us that nature 'wires' children to play, explore, and seek independence - and that we thwart this inborn drive at our own peril. Fortunately, Professor Gray offers a road map for making it easier for parents to trust their kids more, worry about them less, and let them be kids. If you have kids, work with kids, or just care about kids, please read this remarkable book! (William R. Stixrud, PhD, clinical neuropsychologist and co-author of 'The Self-Driven Child' and 'What Do You Say?')
For anyone anxious to understand the real causes of the struggles of recent generations, read this book. A scrupulously researched, profoundly compelling explanation of what happened to childhood and how to make things right. (Ned Johnson, co-author of 'The Self-Driven Child' and 'What Do You Say?')
In Restoring Childhood, Gray challenges the simplistic narrative that today's generation is in crisis because of smartphones and social media, and invites us to consider the broader forces reshaping childhood. Thoughtful and deeply hopeful, this book is an important contribution to conversations about what children need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Gray shifts the focus from restricting children's lives to expanding them. (Candice L. Odgers, Chancellor’s Professor of Psychology and Informatics, University of California, Irvine)
Noted evolutionary psychologist Peter Gray dismantles many assumptions about the impact of social media and other modern threats to youth while offering a robust catalogue of strategies for letting them "off the leash". (David F. Lancy, author of 'Learning Without Lessons')
In recent years, parents and policymakers have been told that social media is driving a youth mental health crisis. Peter Gray sets the record straight. Children have long been telling us the truth: it is the erosion of their freedom to explore - and damaging school policies - that are doing the harm. With Dr. Gray's insights, we can finally focus on what really matters for kids' wellbeing. (Christopher J. Ferguson, Psychology Professor, and coauthor of Moral Combat: Why the War on Violent Video Games is Wrong)
