Primary-age children in Britain are typically not being allowed to play outside on their own until two years older than the previous generation were. Their parents played outside unsupervised by the age of nine – today’s children don’t get there until age 11, according to the study. One expert said the findings showed that British children had been subject to “a gradual, creeping lockdown over at least a generation”.
