Beginning in the late 1980s, Michael Gurian began to build a science-based social philosophy for child development, especially in the spheres of education, parenting, and psychology.  This philosophy grounds the Gurian Institute’s work in schools and communities.   This week our blog post is a round up of just a few of the recent articles and studies that ground the Gurian philosophy and method.
