This resolution addresses the U.S. Surgeon General's declared epidemic of loneliness and social isolation, which contributes to various health issues and reduced community engagement. It highlights that excessive device use leads to "alone-together" time and a lack of physical activity, negatively impacting social development and overall well-being, especially for children who play less outdoors. To counteract these trends, the resolution emphasizes the critical role of play and social connection , defining play as an intrinsically motivated activity that fosters essential social skills, brain development, and stress reduction. It expresses support for annually designating the first Saturday after the Spring Equinox as a "National Day of Play" to encourage individuals to reduce screen time, engage in play, and participate in community events to strengthen bonds and enhance overall well-being.
