Power of Play Series |
Play … it shapes the brain, opens the imagination and invigorates the soul. So why are we doing less of it, instead of more? The average American kid spends just thirteen minutes a week playing outside. All work and no play is not just making Jane a dull girl. It's making her overweight, anxious and depressed.
Teens spend eight hours at school, 10 hours sleeping … add on two hours for sports and two hours for homework and that leaves just two hours of free time a day. Are we putting too much pressure on the next generation? Experts say even big kids need some time to play.
Kids, spouse, house, the economy … it's no wonder we all feel overwhelmed! While free time may feel like a trivial pursuit, researchers say we all need to add time to play to our schedules. The right kind of play not only relieves stress … it can impact your entire life.
