Active Play = Healthy Kids: The Role of Playgrounds in Child Development

Why Active Play Is So important for Children

The benefits of active play are not only an opportunity for enjoyment, but more importantly good opportunities for their bodies and brains. Playing out of doors involves the practice of all sorts of different gross motor movements. This makes them strong and flexible. This is like working out, but way more enjoyable! Playing actively also helps kids maintain a healthy weight and makes it easier for them to sleep at night. When children play outside, they also receive fresh air and sunshine that is beneficial for their body and mind.

Kids Outdoor Playgrounds & Their Effect on the Physical Health & Fitness of Children

Consider mall playgrounds as big gyms for children. They have all the equipment you could ask for – swings, slides, monkey bars, climbing walls... If your kids play on these items, they will have to use various muscles as a result of which they tend to become stronger. And it also helps in better balance and coordination. Playing at the jungle gym helps children exercise and stay healthy. Not only does this allow them to move more, but they enjoy the process and work up a little sweat without realizing how much exercise it actually is! We spent an afternoon at the playground, which is of course good for physical health but also helps to socialize and have fun together. Playing with others helps kids learn to take turns, share, and cooperate. How to communicate and solve problems is another area which they learn too. 

Cognitive Advantages of Outdoor Play for Young children

Kids who spend more time outside not only have healthier bodies they also tend to have better social skills, and their brains grow in ways that make them more resilient. Kids also make believe and play at the playground. They could be playing pirate ship or spacemen. That type of pretend play has a huge impact in developing the creative and problem-solving side of the brain in kids. It helps them explore our world as well. It is excellent for children to relax and reduce stress so that the children's brains can develop better when they are also in contact with nature.
