The Role of Play and Outdoor Activities in Child Development
Daily FT
|October 01, 2025
Play is not a luxury for childrenit is a fundamental part of their physical, emotional and intellectual development.
-
In an age where screens often replace playgrounds, it is vital to restore the value of outdoor activities and unstructured playtime. On World Children's Day, we are reminded that a child's wellbeing depends not only on education and safety, but also on the freedom to explore, imagine and move.
Outdoor play helps children build stronger bodies through running, climbing, jumping and balancing. These physical activities improve coordination, bone strength and immunity while reducing the risk of childhood obesity. Exposure to natural sunlight supports essential Vitamin D production, which strengthens bones and promotes overall health.
