A solid article on play Darryl. Although I have a couple of questions: 1) When you Make it BIG how do you distinguish Broad from General? 2) Why do you encourage rewards? Since play comes from intrinsic motivation (even beyond motivation), and rewards are extrinsic motivation? Your pointer to encourage rewards seems inconsistent and misleading. You criticized no pain, no gain which is based on an unplayful Skinnerian/Palovian model. But then you encourage that model of rewards at the end. Also, I think it would help to explain to folks that play does not mean hardcore, full intensity, work and exercise does not happen. Even more so that sweat, pain and suffering do regularly happen during play, they just arent the point. It seems Chet Morjaria did not understand that point when he read your article (spoke to you?) based on the article he published. He suggests that we should use play, and that it should be regulated to a playday, rather than be the foundation of healthy movement that will make you fit.
