Children are playing less with one another, which can negatively impact their development. There are two main reasons for this - parents allowing excessive TV/phone use and a focus on individualism over team activities. To address the issue, children should be encouraged to spend more time playing outdoors together rather than using digital devices, and parents should enroll them in group activities like sports that foster social skills. Timely interventions are needed to resolve the problem of declining social play among children.
