Kids at play - American Public Media

School's out! Will your kids be playing in the streets or demolishing
it virtually on the Xbox?

If the kids are back at home, or if your job is to take care of them,
American Public Media is interested in your observations and thoughts
about kids at play. Are your kids masters of their own imaginary
universe or are they at a loss when their world is unstructured by
adults, sports, or technology? Is play what it's always been
(irrepressible, spontaneous)? Is it endangered (influenced by
marketing and scarce family time)? Or is play, just like kids
themselves, changing with the times? What do you notice when you
watch kids play and what does it all mean?

Share your experiences with kids and play he

Your thoughts, observations and ideas will help us with upcoming
stories on the state of play. We want to know what you see, and what
you think about the past, present, and future of playtime.

Go ahead - kick the idea around with your kids, too. Let us know if
they roll their eyes or have some nugget of wisdom we've lost in
growing up.

Share your experience with American Public Media. For more
