Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how different types of play, especially adventurous play, relate to children's mental health, finding that more adventurous play is linked to fewer emotional problems and greater happiness during stressful times like the Covid-19 lockdown.
  • Data from two UK samples indicate small but significant associations, and these positive effects of adventurous play are more noticeable in children from lower-income families.
  • The findings support the idea that adventurous play may help prevent mental health issues in children by providing valuable learning experiences and emotional benefits.]

In a large study, it was concluded the more adventurous children play, the better their mental health during COVID! (DOI: 10.1007/s10578-022-01363-2) After these years, we all could use a little adventure. Get out and explore the woods, try a new skill, or try new restaurants.
