MUMBAI, Apr 9 (The CONNECT) – In a world where technology often competes for children’s attention, Saumil Majmudar, Co-founder, CEO & MD of Sportz Village and Vijay Krishnamurthy, a Sports Research Scholar and an Executive Coach have released their book titled “Get Kids To Play – An EduSports Toolkit for Parents & Schools Leaders”.
This insightful work delves into the crucial aspects of encouraging and enhancing children’s play experiences, offering actionable strategies for parents, schools, and communities.
“Get Kids To Play” strategically targets two key decision-making groups – parents and school leaders. Combining research-backed strategies with practical solutions into a comprehensive toolkit, the authors empower these stakeholders to influence various factors affecting the quantity and quality of play, while also primarily overcoming barriers to play for children. With a focus on inclusivity and tailored experiences, the book aims to revolutionize the way we approach holistic child development through play.
Majmudar says in an era dominated by screens and sedentary lifestyles, it’s imperative to prioritize children’s play.
The culture of playing a sport begins while the child is studying in school during their formative years, and that’s where the journey begins for kids, parents, and school leaders, said Vijay Krishnamurthy.
Rukmini Banerji, CEO, Pratham Foundation said, “Get Kids To Play” is a call-to-action for parents and schoolteachers. The book is simultaneously inspiring and useful, providing rationale, research, and recipes for strengthening the journey of children through play, he said.
