Abstract
Play, and especially outdoor play, is essential for the
overall development of children. Through outdoor play,
they learn, get to know the world around them, socialize,
learn and understand their strengths and abilities,
develop imagination and enjoy the environment around
them. Knowledge of the environment, as well as natural
social processes, introduces the child to the perception
and understanding of relationships in the immediate
environment, helps the development of children's
thinking and other psychic functions and enriches
children's vocabulary, necessary for good and clear
communication with their environment.
Staying outdoors contributes at the same time for both
mental and physical well – being, contribute for
possitive engagement, better revitalization, decrease of
tension, confusion, anger and depression; greater
enjoyment, cognitive functioning, better sleep and
improvement of individual well – being.
Social media also have their impact on today’s children
lives. Just sitting in front of a computer or another
electronic medium reduces physical activity and leads to
sedentary behavior of children. This should be
especially emphasized and practiced especially today, in
the new living conditions, when we have limited
opportunities for unimpeded movement due to health
protocols imposed by the pandemic, which in itself has
led to increased use of electronic media in children's
leisure time.
Therefore, a good combination of indoor study time for
a successful career and outdoor physical activity to stay
healthy is important for a child’s development and
growth.
