The right of a child to have a patch of grass on which to kick a ball — let alone a swing or a basketball hoop — might seem like a luxury, particularly when set against more measurable areas of childhood. Yet alongside gains in academic scores, a recent University of Exeter study found that those who played outdoors more frequently between the ages of two and four were less likely to have emotional and behavioural difficulties through age eight.
This is not evidence that a lack of outdoor play causes anxiety. But it is a useful reminder of how strange our priorities have become, increasingly concerned with the measurable problems of childhood — but not the things that make childhood childhood.
