6. • 3 Outdoor activity can improve self-esteem, confidence and
emotional well-being, increase happiness and reduce
aggressive tendencies. It also helps children to keep a healthy
weight. In fact, many local communities are so much in favour
of promoting childhood well-being that they are actively
encouraging children to enjoy the outdoors. Volunteers
supervise outdoor play areas such as parks and outdoor
activity centres where children can meet other children and
take part in outdoor activities, from climbing trees to studying
wildflowers and animals.
