Playing outside with your kids serves more purposes than just promoting physical fitness. 

According to a 2019 study, children who spend less time in green spaces are more likely to experience psychiatric problems like anxiety and mood disorders.  Therefore, allowing your child to spend time outside may benefit their mental health.

It is not always easy coming up with an activity/activities to do, but platforms like 5-minute crafts have made it easier for parents to give children something fun to do.
