“Play is the work of Childhood.” – Jean Piaget
Did you know that Article 31, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, has been ratified by 196 countries, but NOT the United States?
Since the inception of the American Association for the Child’s Right to Play in 1973, it has been our goal and mission to protect, preserve, and promote play as a fundamental right for all children.
“Trees Over Screens” has long been a mantra of ours, and it is more and more true every day. The alignment of IPA USA’s and ScreenFree’s beliefs is an immense opportunity to strengthen our message and combine our resources and our advocacy efforts, so we can effect even greater change
We are honored to be entrusted with stewarding the Screen-Free Week initiative.
As we continue to add IPA USA’s accumulated content, publications, and resources to what is available here, we hope you’ll take a few moments to review them so that we can all advocate for fewer screens together.
