Play Sufficiency Duty

21/5/2025

Comments

 
Parliamentary group launched a campaign for ‘play sufficiency duty’ that matches those in Wales and Scotland
​
What's your childhood play memory? Favriote toy? or Playspace?

Play serves as a child's initial opportunity to make choices and forms a fundamental basis for their future learning and professional life. Through play, children can practice leadership, explore, learn from their errors, and develop self-correction abilities. When adults consistently manage all aspects of a child's day, children miss out on chances to independently practice making sound decisions. This early exposure to decision-making in a safe and fun environment helps them build essential skills for navigating more complex situations later in life.

Giving children the autonomy to direct their play and determine its outcome is crucial for fostering their self-assurance, creativity, and innovative thinking. Children in control of their play are more likely to be engaged and motivated, leading to deeper exploration and learning. This freedom allows their imaginations to flourish and encourages them to think outside the box, nurturing their innate creativity.

Incorporating at least 15 minutes of child-led play into your daily routine can improve a child's positive behaviour throughout the day. Consistency is essential for achieving these benefits. Inform the child a few minutes in advance, for example, by saying, "When the timer goes off, it's our play time." This preparation helps them transition smoothly and understand what to expect, making the experience more positive.
