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.
