This week we read an article from the BBC website about how children's freedom to play has sadly declined over the last 50 years due to a number of factors including stranger danger, changes in architectural design and the increase in cars on the roads.
We were reminded of this quote from contemporary American psychiatrist Stuart Brown, M.D. who says:
"Those who play rarely become brittle in the face of stress or lose the healing capacity for humor."The accompanying TV series Hop, Skip and Jump: The Story of Children's Play is available on BBC iPlayer
