    What's going on

    Childhood is changing. And mums worldwide aren’t happy about it. Neither are your kids.
    Surf Excel's new, global report has uncovered a worrying new trend. Your child’s access to free, happy play – which experts agree is vital for healthy development – is being limited.
    What’s putting the squeeze on our kids?

    "We were amazed by the degree of agreement between mums from countries that are culturally so different. From Sao Paolo to Shanghai, mums' concerns about their children were almost identical. It proves this really is a global issue."

    Dr Jerome Singer and Dr Dorothy Singer
