GoGo Squeez conducted a survey about playfulness in American families. Survey results show a disconnect between how playful parents feel and how often they actually get to experience unstructured play – free and imaginative play as opposed to an organized sport or game – with their families. Most parents (92%) describe themselves as “playful” but they struggle to fit the unstructured play they remember from childhood into their own family life. In fact, a majority of parents (74%) have a problem keeping “playfulness” alive day-to-day – revealing a playfulness deficit in American families.
But it is not their own playfulness that concerns them most: two-thirds (66%) feel they spent more time in unstructured play when they were young than their kids do today. With a reduction in unstructured play, 75% of these parents fear their child is missing out on key developmental lessons including learning:
- to be creative (36%),
- to communicate (36%),
- to share (25%) and
- to resolve conflicts (23%).
My kids don’t concern me one bit. LOL watch the video and decide for yourself if I should be worried or not.

Our driveway and sidewalks are always covered in chalk drawings. It’s always awesome to see what they come up with.
Thanks for the chance!
Playing in our yard, sleeping out and running around with the kids. They love to play and be creative outside.
We are outside everyday! My kids love to swim, ride there bikes, swing and just play! We love to go to the park and the zoo too!
We plan to go camping but if finances don’t allow we plan to camp in our yard and plan some outside activies and games, cooking out.
