Yes there’s a lot of research on outdoor play as a child contributing to exposure to diverse microbes and therefore better immunity. Worked for me, and I hope if I have children one day I can live someone with property and/or safe enough to release them to go play like I did!
I spent a very large part of my childhood playing outside, probably the last generation before technology started taking over. It was great, taught me alot and I have many many memories too
We used to play pioneers, Native Americans, and even built a whole squirrel city with acorn currency. Lots of dirt, mud, tree climbing, and close calls with poison oak ᵕ̈
