How the social and emotional development of children is impacted by regularly playing outside

A common but under-researched realm of social and emotional development in children is appreciating the importance of spending time outdoors and how considerable the effects are. For such an essential aspect of childhood, the gaps in research here are somewhat staggering. Not least because, the research that currently exists confirms that there is unmistakable evidence that outdoor time, like outdoor play, or outdoor classrooms, has a considerable positive impact on a child’s social and emotional development. These developing studies come from multiple disciplines using a wide range of approaches that all lead to the same notion.
