Girls play outside in nature less than boys do, even at the age of two, according to the first national survey of play among preschool-age children in Britain. While researchers expect to see older children socialised to particular gender roles, they were shocked to see similar patterns of behaviour starting to emerge at such a young age. They fear it could have long-term implications for girls’ health, as girls are less physically active as they get older and are more likely than boys to have difficulties with their mental health.

The study also found that preschool-age child ren from a minority ethnic background play less outdoors than their white counterparts, and children in urban areas play less outdoors than those in rural areas. “The results highlight inequalities in play even in the youn gest age group, which may exacerbate existing inequalities in health,” the report concluded.

The research surveyed more than 1,100 parents and carers of children aged two, three and four. They found that preschool children spent approximately four hours a day at play, of which one hour and 45 minutes was spent playing outdoors, mainly in back gardens at home. Away from home, children played in playgrounds and green spaces, with the most adventurous play usually associated with indoor play centres.

“The popularity of these play centers is growing,” the report said. “This may be driven by indoor play centres providing adventurous play experiences that overcome some of the barriers to outdoor adventurous play such as traffic, weather and safety concerns.”

Comentário do professor

Comentário: A afirmação é errada porque o texto menciona que os centros de brincadeiras internas estão se tornando populares devido à capacidade de oferecer experiências de brincadeira aventureiras que superam barreiras como o tráfego, o clima e preocupações com segurança. Isso indica que as preocupações de segurança são mais relevantes para o brincar ao ar livre, e não para a escolha dos centros de brincadeiras internas, que são vistos como uma solução para essas preocupações. Portanto, a inferência de que a segurança impede os pais de deixar seus filhos brincarem em centros de brincadeiras internas não está correta.
