Children Who Play Outdoors Have Better Friendships & Psychosocial Health

November 2, 2016

This article and Ted Talk discuss how playing outdoors more helps children develop their interaction and communication skills, especially when they are around with real people, adults, neighbors, and their fellow kids.
