Sinovuyo Arosi, an educational psychologist, says the SASKO Siyasizana initiative which intends to improve the lives of 5 million children by 2030, will have a positive impact through its focus on promoting psychological well-being and development. Arosi promotes policies and practices that foster child-directed, positive play.
According to the LEGO Play-well Report 2022, early developmental and social play has mental, physical, and emotional benefits that can help decrease negative outcomes. It is reported that developing life skills can help youngsters handle future interactions and reduce the occurrence of bullying. Arosi spoke about the benefits of programmes like the SASKO Siyasizana’s Play Better campaign.
