Are children that actively play everyday happier than those that do not?

This question is a simple question to answer and most of the information would work for adults.  Playing connects children to other peers.  Playing helps to build friendships and helps us to learn to share with others.  Playing also helps with a child's imagination, creativity and even  problem solving skills.  Playing is said to help lift spirits of one self.  It triggers endorphin's to help us become excited and energized.  Playing also lets kids know that they are not alone.  Someone is usually there playing with them or is close by watching them. I think when kids do play everyday whether it is inside or outside, it helps them to be happier.  This is true for adults as well.  It helps adults use there creativity, imagination and problem solving skills that they may not have used in awhile.  It helps them to relieve stress even.  Just the joy of playing makes a person happy!
