Do children these days need to play outside more?

Alan Titchmarsh recently said that children need to get outside more, in fact he thinks schools in the UK should include it in the curriculum – do you agree? Do we encourage enough outdoor & free play or are we too scheduled with our children? Do kids still play hopscotch & build forts, should they? Or are we too afraid to let kids play outside now? Susan chats to Joanna Fortune, Psychotherapist, Author of 15 Minute parenting and weekly parenting consultant on Moncrieff show and hears from listeners.
