Parents Perceptions of Play in School: Findings From the British Children's Play Survey
Using data from the British Children's Play Survey, we aimed to characterise parents’ perception of play in school and to examine to what extent perceptions were accounted for by socio‐demographic factors, geographic factors, and parents’ attitudes towards risk in play and protection from injury. Participants were 1919 parents (54% female) of children aged 5–11 years living in Britain. Overall, parents had positive perceptions about the need for …
Adventurous play in schools: The parent perspective
Adventurous play (play that is exciting and thrilling, where children take age‐appropriate risks, for example climbing trees and jumping from rocks) is increasingly being recognised as beneficial for child health and development. Despite this, children's opportunities for and engagement in this type of play have declined in recent decades. Break times in schools may provide an ideal opportunity to provide adventurous play opportunities for all ch…
Adventurous play for a healthy childhood: Facilitators and barriers identified by parents in Britain
The findings of this research support the identification of key targets for those working with parents to improve children's adventurous play opportunities and ultimately their physical and mental health. Future research should seek to design and tailor interventions by asking parents about the support they would value
Parent perceived barriers and facilitators of children’s adventurous play in Britain: A framework analysis
Improved understanding of what influences parent perceptions of adventurous play can inform public health interventions designed to improve children's opportunities for and engagement in adventurous play, with a view to promote children's physical and mental health
Child’s Play: Examining the Association Between Time Spent Playing and Child Mental Health
It is theorised that adventurous play offers learning opportunities that help to prevent mental health problems in children. In this study, data from two samples is used to examine associations between the time that children aged 5-11 years spent playing adventurously and their mental health. For comparison, time spent playing unadventurously and time spent playing outdoors are also examined. Study 1 includes a sample of 417 parents, Study 2 incl…
Children’s Play and Independent Mobility in 2020: Results from the British Children’s Play Survey
The British Children's Play Survey was conducted in April 2020 with a nationally representative sample of 1919 parents/caregivers with a child aged 5-11 years. Respondents completed a range of measures focused on children's play, independent mobility and adult tolerance of and attitudes towards risk in play. The results show that, averaged across the year, children play for around 3 h per day, with around half of children's play happening outdoor…
Development and evaluation of a new measure of children’s play: The Children’s Play Scale (CPS)
The measure will be of value in future research focusing on the public health benefits and correlates of children's play as well as researchers interested in children's outdoor play and play in nature specifically. The development of the measure in collaboration with parents and experts in children's play is a significant strength. It will be of value for future research to further validate the measure against play diaries or activity monitors
