Just Let Children Play is Bad Advice Without Context- part 1 We are living in a very different society to the one in which much of our child development research was conducted in.

The 100 years of research still holds.

Children’s developmental needs have not changed.

But the guidance given to parents has not evolved at the same pace.

One example is the repeated advice to “just let children play”. While well-intended, this advice is now increasingly problematic when it is offered without context.

Play what?

Three hours on a tablet and three hours of physical, social, imaginative play are not developmentally equivalent, particularly when we consider milestones such as independence, self-regulation, language development and motor skills.

Developmental milestones exist for a reason. They are indicators of readiness, not tools for comparison. When children consistently miss opportunities to practise key skills through effort-based play, those milestones are delayed — often across multiple areas, not just one.

In a screen-saturated world, vague advice unintentionally shifts play towards passive consumption rather than developmental practice.

If we are serious about supporting children’s long-term outcomes, we need to rewrite our guidance for the context children are growing up in today.

Play still matters.

But clarity around which types of play support development matters more than ever.
