Speaking of Faith® from American Public Media

Share your story about your experiences of play

Share your perspectives and experiences on the nature of play.

The seemingly purposeless act of play is actually a key component in learning trust and empathy, and fosters our talents and problem-solving skills. Who knew that rough-and-tumble play can actually prevent violence, and that honoring play contributes to our well-being and personal growth?

We'd like to hear your stories about play in your lives — as parents and grandparents, as working professionals, as developing human beings.
