Abstract
Subjective well-being (SWB) is conceptualised as a multidimensional concept that
encompasses both cognitive and affective judgements and evaluations that people make about
their lives. It comprises three main components, namely life satisfaction, positive affect, and
negative affect. Over the past few decades, empirical literature on children’s SWB has shifted
to focus on their subjective perspectives of their lives. This has been attributed to the
recognition and acknowledgement of children’s rights, and children as experts on their lives.
Of the diverse spaces and places that children engage in and make use of, the natural
environment has been identified as a significant space contributing toward children’s wellbeing.
