Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are children playing less than they used to? Are rising obesity rates linked to a decline in children’s time to play freely? These and other related questions have filled the pages of newspapers, magazines and scholarly journals for the past decade. Researchers and journalists have attributed these issues to societal changes around children’s lives and leisure, the growth of structured and organised activities and increasing perceptions of risk in children’s play. Play, Physical Activity and Public Health presents a discussion of the way modern notions of play are rendering children’s leisure activities less free and less engaged in simply for fun. Based on original qualitative research, and analysis of contemporary media from Canada and elsewhere, this book argues that the growing health concerns around childhood play entail a paradox: by advocating, promoting, discussing, and re-directing children’s play, a new form of children’s leisure is emerging - one that is purpose-driven, instrumentalised for health, and ultimately, less free. We explore how play has become goal-oriented, a means to health ends, and how the management of pleasure in play as well as diverse risk discourses around play continue to limit and constrain possibilities for children and families to play and engage in leisure freely. Incorporating past critiques of this trend in play, we argue for research and practice to create new possibilities and ways of thinking about children's play, leisure, fun and childhood, that are less constrained and managed, and importantly less geared towards health goals. This is a valuable resource for students of the sociology of sport, kinesiology, sports and health psychology, education, public health, and childhood studies. It is also an important read for school teachers, public health practitioners, psychologists, physical education teachers, academics and parents interested in how children’s leisure lives are being shaped by the growing and diverse discussions around play.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do contemporary children have busy "leisure-diaries" that approximate the appointment diary of real-life managers? Do present-day children spend their leisure time mainly with peers at the expense of spending time with their parents? These issues are dealt with within a cross-cultural comparison between Dutch and German 10 to 15 year-olds. In Germany as well as the Netherlands, highly differentiated leisure patterns are found.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professionals in educational and recreational settings work hard to understand and address the problems faced by underserved youth. Yet the dedicated people in these institutions are often limited in what they can achieve because they tend to remain within the confines of their own work environment rather than sharing their expertise and resources. Instead of accepting this as an unfortunate fact of life, the coauthors of this book see the situation as an opportunity to develop an approach in which the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. In Youth Development and Physical Activity: Linking Universities and Communities, they draw on their considerable teaching experience to present innovative new ways to serve underserved youth. The book describes practical strategies for breaking down the walls between universities and communities so they can combine their strengths to improve young people's lives. You'll find a wealth of guidelines for creating physical activity programs that instill a sense of social and personal responsibility, including numerous real-life examples of successful programs. Youth Development and Physical Activity: Linking Universities and Communities is divided into four parts, each enriched with the colorful "voices" and stories of real kids and youth leaders who have put these ideas into practice: -Part I provides a sobering look at the challenges today's young people face and introduces positive ways to improve physical activity youth programs so they're meaningful in today's world. -In Part II, you'll learn how to move from "how it is" to "how it could be," using a breakthrough model for working with kids and building programs. Here the book provides a road map that shows the way for university students and faculty to connect with youth in their communities through service learning, internships, and other outreach programs -Part III spells out how to develop a variety of proven youth physical activity programs--from adventure experiences and Coaching Clubs to mentoring and teen parent programs. You'll find many great ideas that work in virtually any setting, including public schools, alternative schools, recreation programs, youth service groups, and social agencies. -Part IV provides a variety of helpful tools for evaluating programs and improving outcomes, as well as insights on how professionals can develop the skills they need to respond to the changing demands on youth leaders. Written by professionals with a combined 70 years of experience working with underserved youth, this book is must reading for both professionals and organizations practicing in a world where youth too often slip through the cracks. It provides a clear and hopeful framework for improving the lives of kids as well as the communities in which they live.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Time on Their Hands: A Report on Leisure, Recreation, and Young People We hear it said often these days that American youth are "soft" and must be "toughened." Frequently this charge simmers down to the assertion that our young people are content for the most part to sit on the sidelines, enjoying by proxy the exertions of others. Though many such statements are made with more vehemence than discrimination, their very recurrence has caused thoughtful persons to reassess youth attitudes and the opportunities (or lack of opportunities) from which in large measure they stem. Particularly is this true of the use of leisure time. Whatever may be said of youth attitudes, the use of leisure in modern days has taken on great significance because the amount of time which must be devoted to earning a living is constantly decreasing. Young people are particularly aware of this fact because they enter the world of work much later in life than did their grandfathers and grandmothers, or even their mothers and fathers. When they do succeed in making an entry, they are likely to find themselves performing over and over a simple task which gives them little personal sense of achievement and makes satisfactory use of leisure a necessity. In a period of national emergency like the present, the use of leisure by youth is of special importance to our country. The American Youth Commission has frequently pointed out that only as youth feel they have a stake in our democracy will they be eager to defend it. They can hardly be expected to respond with enthusiasm to demands for special effort in creating and maintaining our defenses if no attention is given to their own pressing needs, one of which is healthful recreation. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of conserving our resources, failure to provide facilities for developing the highest potentialities of all our future citizens may prove a costly error.
