Educate Yourself About Play!
Knowledge is power. Advocacy is when knowledge meets passion and is passed on. Your heart is in the right place, and facts about play and its importance are going to assist you in creating a powerful message that is focused and credible.
All the information, data, and research are readily available. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Begin your research here! We have researched and compiled an excellent repository of information that supports the need for play in all children’s lives.
Beyond the KaBOOM! website, we recommend the following sites to arm you with a strong context for advocating and provide you with additional data to support your passionate appeal:

– Fred Rogers, U.S. children’s TV personality and author
