Jennifer Walsh Johnson For those who are interested, there is a free screening of the PBS documentary "Where do the Children Play?" this Thursday, 10/8 at 7 p.m. at StoneRidge Auditorium in Mystic. The hour-long film examines an issue of growing concern among pediatricians, educators, mental health experts and environmentalists: more and m...ore children are growing up with little or no opportunity for creative, unstructured or outdoor play. Thankfully we have places like the Children's Museum of SECT here to let our children creatively play!
