Most children prefer to play outside rather than watch television but they are restricted to their back gardens by over-anxious parents, new research has revealed.
They are being prevented from venturing unaccompanied into the street, local park, woods or any open green space due to families’ safety fears about traffic and ‘stranger danger’.
These areas have become ‘out-of-bounds’ for adventurous youngsters even though many would prefer to explore these areas rather than be stuck in front of tablets, TV and computer screens.
