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: O texto afirma que os pesquisadores ficaram surpresos ao observar que as diferenças de comportamento entre meninos e meninas em relação ao brincar ao ar livre começam a aparecer já na idade de dois anos, antes do que se esperava. Isso indica que as desigualdades de gênero no brincar se manifestam em uma fase muito inicial da infância, o que reforça a ideia de que tais diferenças são percebidas e socializadas mais cedo, corroborando a afirmação de que as desigualdades entre meninos e meninas aparecem antes do esperado pelos pesquisadores.
