Orang dewasa sebaiknya mengurangi ketakutan mereka akan cedera atau penculikan terhadap anak. Mereka perlu bermain di luar untuk mendukung kekebalan tubuh hingga bersosialisasi.
Les adultes doivent renoncer à leurs craintes de blessures et d'enlèvement. Les enfants ont besoin de jouer dehors pour développer leur immunité, leur santé mentale et leurs aptitudes sociales.
Adults must let go of their fears of injury and kidnapping. Children need free outdoor play to build physical immunity, psychological health, executive functioning and social skills.
