Child- the spring of hidden endowments- a review manuscript

Abstract: 

This study was aimed to identify and review evidence in respect of the process of development for children from birth up to the age of five. There is abundant research that highlights the significance of children’s play in natural space. Natural environment provide rich settings to support children’s play drives, affording a diversity of possibilities for play behaviours. Such play experiences fulfill their biological potential for connection and affiliation with the natural world. This review supports the importance of children’s play in natural space and associated benefits to their health and well being. Such experiences also enhance cognitive, physical and affective development in children, and may profoundly influence future individual and societal relationships with the natural world.
