An update to the original 2003 text, this practical book covers the importance of outdoor play from birth to age five, and taps into the latest research and practice on nutrition, exercise and mental wellbeing. The neurological benefits of exercise and outdoor play; the debates on risk; technology and indoor play; development of Forest Schools and Beach Schools are all covered.
