‘When children can’t play for any reason, anxiety and toxic stress can harm the healthy development of social behaviours… play can be an effective tonic for stress and can encourage the development of positive behaviours.’ 👉thesector.com.au/2021/01/15/are… #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

We have asked children to sacrifice so much to control a disease that barely affects them. As Professor Helen Dodd and colleagues argue, the best way to pay them back is to give them time and space to simply play and be themselves, free from any pressure. theguardian.com/society/2021/f…

This small team, led by Yoav, have just finished building a play space in Sinai, Egypt. The 10 elements were set upon with smiles by the children, and the grand opening event had performances and food to celebrate. #sinai #egypt #diyplayground #playgroundideas #community #ECE

Why playing is important 👉🏼 Children need play to survive and thrive. Play is a life-enhancing experience which fosters resilience, the ability to handle stress, challenges and setbacks. “Just playing” can help build children’s capacity to cope with highly stressful situations.

Play provides a wealth of therapeutic opportunities, all under the child’s control, to process anger, relieve stress, relax, bond with others, express themselves, increase their loss of control, overcome challenges and model positive behaviours. #ChildrensMentalHealth #play

Loose parts at magic hour. This is what heaven looks like for children. 💛🌄🌈 #loosepartsplay #loosepartsheaven #magichour #playgroundideas #nüdelkart #playmatters #playtogether

This is greatly concerning and likely a global trend. Children need to move a lot more as a matter of urgency to undo the damage done through the last 2 sedentary years. This is especially true for children living in “western” poverty.
