If teaching children about ‘stranger danger’ prevents them from feeling safe then is it really worth it?
Research by the charity the National Children’s Bureau showed that under-15s are now less likely to enjoy outdoor play than in previous generations.
It was revealed that almost half of parents admitted that “fear of strangers” prevented them allowing sons or daughters from playing outside.
More than 46 per cent cited traffic concerns and a third were afraid that children would trip or get hurt while playing in parks, streets and playgrounds, figures showed.
The NCB – which published the research to coincide with its national Playday 2012 campaign – insisted that playing outside “should be a normal everyday event for all children”.
