#48. More Play, Less Therapy
Schools produce anxiety and depression, and then they hire therapists to reduce it.
If schools would stop stressing kids out as they do, and stop preventing them from being kids, our kids wouldn’t need so much therapy!
Would it be too cynical for me to suggest that one reason we look to drugs, therapy, and SEL programs rather than play to solve kids’ problems is because many adults make money from drugs, therapy, and SEL courses, but nobody makes money from play?
What we need is LESS school, not more, and we need to restore long recesses and other opportunities for play and fun in school. Kids need more time to play and just be kids, both in and out of school. Mother Nature designed kids to play, explore, and socialize freely with other kids, without adult intervention, because that is how kids develop the skills, confidence, and attitudes that are necessary for mental health and overall wellbeing, as I and colleagues described, with multiple lines of evidence, in this article published in the Journal of Pediatrics.

Defining the Flow—Using an Intersectional Scientific Methodology to Construct a VanguardSTEM Hyperspace
#VanguardSTEM is an online community and platform that centers the experiences of women, girls, and non-binary people of color in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. We publish original and curated content, using cultural production, to include a multiplicity of identities as worthy of recognition and thus redefine STEM identity and belonging. #VanguardSTEM is rooted firmly in Queer, Black feminisms which delineate that the experiences and critiques of Black women matter and that these insights can foster a restorative and regenerative construction of the cultures in which we exist. In describing how #VanguardSTEM descended from counterspaces, we draw on speculative fiction to define a #VanguardSTEM hyperspace as a fluid “place-time” that is born digital and enabled by social media, but materializes in the physical world for specific purposes. As Black women in STEM, we consider how our situated knowledges and scientific expertise inform our process. We propose an intersectional scientific methodology to address the influence of embodied observation, embedded context and collective impact on scientific inquiry. Through #VanguardSTEM, we assert, without apology, the right of Black, Indigenous, women of color and non-binary people of color to self-advocate by fully representing ourselves and our STEM identities and interests, without assimilation.
