"Cities can remove fencing around park playgrounds or make cycle lanes so safely segregated from vehicle lanes that parents feel confident letting older children use them unsupervised. Gradually, these areas can be extended & become part of daily habit." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Residents on 200 streets across the capital this weekend will see the simple but transformative magic that can happen in a few short hours, when cars stop. Neighbours meet. A child will ride a bike down their own street for the first time. #CarFreeDay ā¤ļø bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Up in the air…… and down - thanks to Robert Louis Stevenson for 'The Swing' and to our daughter for the joyful expressions during one of her early swinging sessions. Here’s to making 2025 a swinging year with plenty of playfulness. #playeveryday #playmatters #HappyNewYear2025

This story from Catalan, Spain caught my eye - rocafort.salesians.cat/ofertaeducativ…. Hard to imagine that kids at play aggravate adults to such an extent that they want to curtail play. Chaotic crescendos of free, gleeful abandon is what school recesses are all about!!
