Essay / get in touch with nature and not focus on technology. Outdoor play also supports children's creativity, while providing rich opportunities to develop their imagination, inventiveness and ingenuity and gives children the opportunity to experiment and discover their physical abilities. Outdoor learning can be particularly beneficial for children who learn best through active movement, as very young children learn primarily through sensory and physical experiences. Outdoor play can be considered an essential part of childhood by many people. Due to this rating, forest schools have been adopted as an innovative and educational approach to education and play. The aim of forest schools is to encourage and inspire individuals of different ages through positive experiences outdoors. By allowing children to use life-size tools, to play, to learn the limits of behavior; both physical and social, establish and grow in confidence, self-esteem and become motivated. Outdoor play goes hand in hand with self-directed play, as the child has the opportunity to decide what they would like to do or play with. Fantasy play The British Psychological Society (2000) states that fantasy play is a type of play in which children assume different roles and enact various situations. Fantasy gaming is not literal, meaning it is not realistic and takes shape in many ways. The British Psychological Society (2000) believes that it is very important that adults respect and understand that this is an important part of a child's development. During fantasy play, children take on different roles during play, giving them the opportunity to explore and understand different types of personal interactions and social situations while taking on multiple perspectives. Children often perform activities without using the necessary materials or tools and social context. for such activities, in reality, children can also create their own outcomes for the activity they pretend to perform and can use inanimate objects like animate beings studied by Gayler, K. T (2001). Over many years, a number of theorists and researchers have identified the importance of imaginative/fantasy play in child development. Studies show that fantasy gaming supports, develops and benefits cognitive skills such as language and the use of future tenses, subjunctive and adjectives. Psychologist Sandra Russ (2004) identified several different cognitive and affective processes associated with fantasy gaming, such as the ability to come up with many different ideas, story themes, and symbols. Fantasy play also allows for the expression of both positive and negative feelings. Research developed by Berk, Mann, and Ogan (2006) and Hirsh-Pasek, Golinkoff, Berk, and Singer (2009) found that play and pretend play is an important factor. learning medium for children as they learn forms of self-regulation, including how to reduce aggression, delay of gratification, and empathy. They also found that play improves the child's ability in cognitive flexibility and creativity, as well as problem solving and communication. Russ, (2004), Russ and Fiorelli, (2010), discovered during their longitudinal studies, that early imaginative/fantasy play is associated with increased creative performance of children in later years. Studies by Russ (2004), Russ and Fiorelli (2010) also show that a significant advantage of gamblingfantastic is the improvement of the child's cognitive ability as well as their creativity. Root-Bernstein (2012) studied creative individuals such as Nobel Prize winners and MacArthur Foundation “genius” fellows. His research indicated that early childhood play and games about imaginary worlds were more common among these individuals than among control participants. Fantasy, outdoor and holistic play can all be linked through the use of fine and gross motor skills as well as covering different aspects of learning, building, language and creative play. ChildhoodRisk is a essential element of a balanced childhood. Studies show that children who are exposed to healthy risks, especially physical, with developed gross and fine motor skills, risk allows children to experience fear and know how to cope with it and learn the strengths and the limits of their own body, such as how far they can go. climb a tree without getting stuck. Research suggests that placing too many restrictions on children's external risks hinders their development. According to Peden and Oyegbite (2008), they also emphasize the importance of play as a necessary ingredient for healthy child development. Safety must be balanced with opportunities for child development through risky play. Children must be able to learn through their mistakes. If a child is deprived of risks, they are more likely to suffer from problems such as mental health, obesity, lack of independence and diminished autonomy. learning, as well as problems with perception and judgment. This can happen when the risk is removed from play and the restrictions are too high for the child. Therefore, forest schools and other closely related places are on the rise because children learn their own limits and learn the value of restrictions. Research by Grundy S. and Towner E. (2002) suggests that if children believe they do not face challenges or have the exciting risk opportunities needed in public play areas, they may try to seek out these opportunities elsewhere. A survey of 1,973 children aged 11 to 14 in a deprived area of England found that more than 40% visited and played regularly. in wastelands, construction sites, underpasses, rivers, abandoned buildings and quarries, creating even more unnecessary risks, which could lead to even more danger. Sandseter and Kennair (2005) hypothesized that engaging children in risk is a better way to reduce fear. situations such as heights, through a natural and gradual way of exposing yourself to the situation, for example to overcome your fear of heights you would climb a tree and gradually ascend each time. Sandseter and Kennair (2005) argue that if children are not provided with sufficient opportunities for risk during childhood, they will not have the experience necessary to deal with situations that arouse fear. In addition, they will maintain their fear, which may result in anxiety disorders later in life. It may also be related to children adopting their parents' unhelpful fears. Although there are still disadvantages regarding too high a risk in childhood, as Meddings D. (2011) found that unintentional injuries are one of the leading causes of death and hospitalization among children in the world, taking the lives of nearly a million children every year. However, deaths from contagious diseases are increasing..
