This project focuses on the consequences of PLAY DEPRIVATION of children... studies show that children who are denied opportunities for play.. grown into violent, suicidal, aggressive, depressed, obese teenagers and adults....
How can foster care children - already in grief... have opportunities to play with other children if in they go from one foster home to another?... have too many other foster children in one home when the foster parent is overwhelmed with responsibilities? spend time in school with pressure about tests and homework and continuous visits to social services, therapists, parental visitations?
Children and teens need to heal from grief! They need to be given opportunities to play! Music, Dance, Singing, Photography, Creative Writing, Swimming, Sports, Hiking, Gardening, should replace video games and cell phones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With this video on healing from grief and the consequences of children being deprived of play activities and play time... we will facilitate workshops, seminars, trainings, performances, and media presentations for foster parents, adoptive parents, birth parents and grandparents, teachers, social workers, therapists, and all those adults interested in helping these vulnerable youths!
