Publisher's Summary

Reclaim the Lost Magic of Childhood Play!

Reclaim Play delivers an inspiring manifesto on why play is critical for children and a comprehensive how-to for parents to bring back the magic of childhood. Unlock the boundless creativity, imagination, and profound learning that flourish when children immerse themselves in independent play. The narrative of childhood has been rewritten over the past two decades. Play, once synonymous with childhood, has seen a worrying decline, paralleled by a concerning upsurge in children's mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression.

Reclaim Play champions the idea of entrusting children with the autonomy to explore, fostering their inner resilience, nurturing problem-solving skills, and cultivating independent thought. Every child is wired for play. Sadly, the richness of play has been overshadowed by the encroachments of technology, societal pressures for early achievements, and rampant materialism. Reclaim Play aims to reverse this trend, providing actionable steps, insightful solutions, and positive affirmations for parents eager to shield their children from these modern pitfalls, restoring the cherished art of imaginative play.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

"...Practical and wise, this book will help modern day parents and kids reclaim deeply nourishing, natural independent play. I couldn't recommend it more!"–Hunter Clarke-Fields, author of Raising Good Humans.

"...More than anything else, play develops their brains and bodies, sparks their creativity, and teaches them all the relational soft skills that are the hardest to learn later on. Avital Schreiber Levy knows this and teaches this better than anyone, and that's why I'm so thrilled she wrote this book."–Hal Runkel, NYT bestselling author of ScreamFree Parenting.

"This book... will save a generation of children from a play-less existence."–Dr. Shefali, Clinical Psychologist and NYT bestselling author of The Conscious Parent
