Everywhere you look, there is more conflict and uncertainty than ever before. Childhood is being pushed aside. Kids are living through war, displacement and loss. For millions, play has disappeared, taking with it something essential to healing and learning. But play changes everything! It helps children recover from trauma. It creates safety, belonging, and possibility. When we protect play, we protect the children of the world. #internationaldayofplay #playchangeseverything (fb)
