Playtime at school has been cut back - I think reinstating that free time would be a very good thing. I also think we should look at the size of playgrounds and how children use them (the BBC did a good piece on this).
More play in the wider community and at home would also be a good thing.

On one hand we seem to want children to play more and learn important skills, but on the other hand we want adults to step in and solve all the playground problems.
Unsupervised play seems to be a thing of the past.
