I agree. Particularly poor self esteem. At our school, we encourage kids to not be afraid to get a little bit hurt and we sometimes "get lost" in our neighborhood. It's a fun way to encourage kids to solve problems and overcome adversity.

Besides the mentioned possibility of depression, obesity, ADHD, some observations we have made are: Kids seem to have a better attitude when they have been outside. They eat better when they have had some exercise. They nap better when they've burned off some fuel. Socially, they don't seem as self-centric after they have played with another child outside.

Sonya Kimble

I have noticed that several children at my school that have minimal contact with nature are unable to voluntarily engage in play and activities like the other children do. Less muscle tone and coordination is developed. Children are less likely to experience the joys of sensory work and prefer to be "plugged in." Those children are more likely to look for adult direction and are reluctant to engage without adult prompting. They can often be less self-confident, less creative, and more stressed.
