Yes, and now you are added to my list of candidates for the new position of US Director of Children's #Play, #ReducedSocialMedia #IndependentMobility and #Independence, in the next administration. Supported by Lenore Skenazy, Jonathan Haidt and Peter Gray. #LetGrow

My oldest kid takes @wmata.com home most days but apparently aftercare doesn't honor "permission to self dismiss" form that school uses.

When will we reorganize around the idea that it's good for kids to... do stuff?? It is safer Out There than on youtube, I promise #freerangekids #letgrow

MAJOR STUDY FINDS:

"Imaginative play is not just recreational but a foundational developmental tool that supports long-term mental wellbeing."

LET'S STOP REPLACING IT WITH SCREENS & ADULT-LED ACTIVITIES!

Loved talking with Terri Novacek on her Element is Everything podcast. Afterwards, she reports:
"We are now using the Play Club parameters to reinvent park day, and bring back play, exploration, creativity (and maybe even a couple of boo boos)."
SCORE!

Does Propublica recieve funding from any Koch affiliated resource? The Koch network is the primary funding source for anti-child welfare advocacy, notably via the pro-abuse group LetGrow. Where can I find a comprehensive list of your donors?

Further, it’s worth noting that the advocacy groups that push back against child protection laws, most famously LetGrow, are funded by CKF.

Creating autonomous kids is more important than creating autonomous vehicles.
