Do Adults Play? Is it Only For Kids?

June 6, 2017 Boonie Sripom

I'll probably make countless variations of this video. It seems to be a problem for other adults that their peers choose to play or be playful. Why is it such a big deal? Play can be paired with being childlike, and somehow this is inferior, or a sign that someone hasn't learned how to "adult" correctly. I disagree. I think play is healthy, and has wonderful benefits for individuals and relationships.
