Playtime in Crisis for Kids Worldwide
About this episode
The episode discusses the decline in children's playtime due to digital distractions and highlights initiatives aimed at restoring play and its benefits.
Kids today are playing less than ever, thanks to digital distractions like social media and AI — and the consequences are serious. A global survey of 10,000 kids revealed one in three lack time to play, one in five have no safe space, and a quarter have no one to play with. Without play, kids suffer mentally and physically — missing out on confidence, creativity, and learning. But hope is rising: outdoor programs in cities like Calgary are bringing kids back to nature, while global initiatives like Right To Play use simple games to transform lives — turning soccer balls into tools for confidence and healing, especially for kids in tough situations.
