Today we have a quote from Kay Redfield Jamison, a professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore who makes a serious point about play:
"Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity."
This really reiterates the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child which is 20 years old this year and states:
"Parties recognise the right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts."
