When designing a product or service, consider different moods, views and contexts of play.

Offer some breathing space. Foster interactive as well as passive time. Encourage children to have breaks. Consider the use of offline, social, in-person and tactile experiences.

Make it easy for children and their care givers to set limits. Help develop and transform those limits as appropriate for the child’s developmental journey.
