AI Art Exhibition Child's Play & ALARP (Academia de Letras e Artes Ribeirão Preto) aims to raise awareness in society about the importance of old children's games (ex. Job, playing wheel, jumping rope, etc.) for children's biopsychosocial development. And warn that the early use of cell phones and the abuse of digital games and social networks are changing the shape of interpersonal relationships. Communication and affection in homes are decreasing, as people (children, teenagers or adults) are currently staring at their “digital toys” for hours, interacting with the world around them in a monosyllabic way.
There is unanimity among doctors, educators and psychologists that the old games develop more creative and healthy adults, from a social and emotional point of view. And that they promote socialization, stimulate the senses, imagination, team spirit, healthy competition and learn to deal with rules.
I am of the generation that having parents present, a pet and friends to play outdoors was all I needed to be happy. I did not have a life of luxury, on the contrary, but I say, with all the certainty of my heart, that the phase of my seven to 12 years old was the happiest of my life. I lived unforgettable moments and I have many stories to tell.

Great comment, if each layer of society does its part to promote this very serious issue, we can reverse this situation, and see the children of the future, more sociable, healthy and with an adequate development, without skipping the important phases.
Truth Luciane and you are contributing a lot to reverse the current "emotional chaos". Your initiative in promoting this Exhibition is an example of this. Thank you for allowing artists from Ribeirão Preto and other States of this immense Brazil to participate in this great artistic movement! Affectionate Bjo Maria Jose
Delight to read your text, we have to make parents aware to return the children to their true childhood, the same as they had. Outdoors and interacting with children in the neighborhood or community. Jump, run and even take the falls that are part of the development.
True Vera! We had a very different childhood and I think it is happier because it is outdoors, barefoot, laughs in the wind. Thank you for the words . Big Bjo
