The Rebirth of Play
Keynote Address by Joan Almon

Creative play—which is so critical to the well-being of children and culture—has been disappearing from children’s lives. Just when caring parents and professionals began to give up hope of its return, signs of change have begun to emerge during the past year. Joan explains why play became an endangered activity and how it is coming back, including the Alliance for Childhood’s work to restore play to all children.
