Today’s parents are under more pressure than ever to ensure that their kids grow up to be successful adults. As a result, kids are often overscheduled and juggling a million activities both in and outside of school, which creates a lot of stress and leaves very little downtime to relax and play.

The Genius of Play is kicking off Play All May to educate families about the benefits of play.

The AAP recommends play for children to buffer toxic stress, build parental relationships, and improve executive functioning.
