Changing the world through Play
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” – Carl Jung
Why play you might ask? There is overwhelming evidence to support play as the highest form of physical activity in children AND a driver for social change/development. Play is an evidence-based approach to support children’s wellbeing, through all aspects of being. Play has positive impacts on children’s social, emotional, cognitive, language and physical development. Play enhances brain structure and function and promotes executive functioning. Most importantly, play is how children make sense of the world around them. Play opportunities for children are in decline and subsequently there are serious health and wellbeing risks on the rise.
Growing Kind are tackling this by focusing on three pillars; advocacy, community connections and accessibility to resources.
