stuart brown recognized the vital role of play long before it was a respected area of science. back then play was considered trivial an extravagance that kids didn't really have to have and slowly the science and the understanding of play behavior itself has burgeoned over the years we've begun to see play as a whole very differently brown went on to review the play backgrounds of more than 6000 people. they confirmed what he 1st thought that having fun is actually a very serious matter what you find is that it's necessary for a sense of optimism fulfillment for a sense of competency for a sense of an authentic self these are all components the play produces and many more for the wellbeing of individuals. i'm very concerned. we have a real crisis. while play deprivation may be only one factor the world health organization says the mental health of young people is declining in europe for example one in 5 kids is dealing with developmental emotional or behavioral problems. one in 8 is mentally ill. one. all right here. one of the leading advocates of outdoor play is canada's mari
