“play isn't just fun — it's the foundation for healthy growth. Play 
strengthens bones, muscles, lungs and the heart, and can help 
reduce obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol.”6/17/2020

The Importance of Play in Promoting Healthy Child Development and Maintaining Strong Parent-Child Bonds 
10 Things Every Parent Should Know About Play

It’s Time to Bring Back Outdoor Peer Play
“...Interestingly, Brussoni’s research also shows that children, especially girls, are far more likely to play outdoors when unsupervised. What this tells us is that having a sense of independence and self-determination encourages the willingness to be playful, and indeed, the opposite is precisely what feeds depression and anxiety. 
As noted in “The Power of Play,” outdoor play began diminishing in the 1980s, and those born around that time are now entering parenthood without the many fond memories of rough-and-tumble, sometimes risky peer play that their own parents grew up with. 
As a result, they’re less likely to understand the value of outdoor play, and less likely to encourage it. The end result could be that we’re entering a sort of amnesia, where people simply cannot remember what it’s like to play in the woods or climb trees, because they’ve never done it. 
And, far from being a loss of simple fun, this can have serious consequences for the health of future children, as it actually prevents the normal brain development necessary for empathy, compassion and personal well-being. The answer is self-evident: Encourage your kids to play, especially outdoors — and play more yourself too, regardless of your age....”http://livepage.apple.com/https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/119/1/182/70699/The-Importance-of-Play-in-Promoting-Healthy-Childhttps://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/119/1/182/70699/The-Importance-of-Play-in-Promoting-Healthy-Childhttps://www.naeyc.org/our-work/families/10-things-every-parent-playhttp://livepage.apple.com/shapeimage_8_link_0shapeimage_8_link_1shapeimage_8_link_2shapeimage_8_link_3

Restoring Play to Childhood Learning-    
Supt. Gamberg explain his philosophy of the importance of play.

“Rousseau, more than 235 years ago, said, ‘You will never accomplish your design of forming sensible adults unless you begin by making playful children.’"
