‘Play unites us across species. The impulse to have fun is found across the animal kingdom. It is the primary way to explore our world & is critical for development of social skills and indicative of empathy in young mammals’ @ThePowerofPlay2 on @CBC #powerofplay #playmatters

Parents know that play matters. 98% of parents say they believe play helps their children reach their full potential. But playtime in school and outside is trending downward. The #RealPlayCoalition is invested in closing the #PlayGap. https://t.co/h0vgtRKQGb #WEF19
