Your first article about play really resonates. As a man in his early 60s, I grew up playing outdoors in the late 60s and through the 70s. And as a father through the 80s and 90s I witnessed the increase in less outdoor activities of children on their own. And School travel has really deteriorated. Many children being walked or driven by Grandparents as their parents are working. We were far more free to play and walk or bus to and from School.
