2022 begun with a lot of optimism and there are a lot of things that are fuelling that optimism: the world has made significant progress against the global pandemic and it seems things are getting back to normal. Credit it to the global vaccination efforts and its fruits where events, concerts, sports and kids are allowed to go outside again. We have made a lot of progress since the lockdowns.

During the lengthy months of the stay at home mandate, kids were all cooked at home and in order to pass the time, kids had to make do with toys, gadgets, streaming shows and video games. Playgrounds were empty like a ghost town. That lengthy effect on children over the past two years have made them feel alienated to the outdoor activities such as playgrounds and family entertainment centres. Now that it’s mostly safe again to experience playgrounds, kids can rediscover the physical experience on playing in the playground.

In 2022 Playground is back and perhaps it never went away and expect playgrounds to be a major part of children’s routine and lifestyles this year.

Physical Play

In the two years of staying mostly at home, experts have detailed that children aren’t getting the recommended physical and exercise that they need. The pandemic has made children’s physical fitness regress as well as impacting their holistic development. With playgrounds reopening across the globe, it presents an opportunity to rediscover playgrounds and experiencing physical fitness activities. Playgrounds allow children again to become kids – running around and climbing on playgrounds. It helps in their physical and mental wellness.

Holistic Development

Developing bodies need exercise and physical activities to strengthen their muscles and motor skills. The holistic development and wellness of children also require outlets of expression which is vital to their mental and emotional wellness. A trip to the playground nets children the much needed exercise and a place to experience joy, excitement as well as polish their social skills – which is vital for their development.
