Dear Editor,
With childhood health problems like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease on the rise, everybody is quick to point fingers at possible causes. But one cause is often overlooked.
There is a nationwide scarcity of play, and we are beginning to see a stark difference between children who play and children who don’t.
People are often surprised to learn that increasing the amount of time children spend in active play – whether it’s in organized sports or on a playground - can help prevent many health problems. As community leaders increase play opportunities in their neighborhoods and schools, these leaders will not only help prevent many of their community’s most pressing problems, but also set their children up for success.
I recently participated in a build sponsored by KaBOOM! to help ensure that there is a playground within walking distance of every child in America.

(I recently participated in a play project [NAME PROJECT e.g. Play Day] supported by KaBOOM!)
Through efforts like this, along with a team of dedicated adults willing to advocate for play in as many ways possible through the KaBOOM! Playmaker Network, we can make play a part of every child’s life.
It is our obligation to ensure that the next generation is as healthy as it can be, mentally and physically, and we can start by prioritizing play.
Sincerely,
Jane Doe
