How you wake up in the morning can be a pretty good indicator of how your day will progress. If you have a good night’s sleep and wake up just before the alarm goes off, you’ll probably feel well-rested and content to start your day. If you toss and turn all night or wake up to a horn honking or some other loud noise well before your alarm was set to go off, chances are you won’t be in the best of moods. As adults, we understand that how we sleep and how we wake up can affect our mood for the day, but we also need to understand that those same rules apply to our kids.

Millennials used to play manhunt in the woods with their friends at night and ride their bicycles or rollerblades until the street lights came on.

In a world full of ever-changing technology and packed schedules for both parents and kids, good old-fashioned playing outdoors seems to take a backseat to the latest video game. Not so coincidentally, child obesity continues to be a serious problem, while participation in child sports is dwindling.

About 4.8 million American kids aged 10 to 17—just over 15%—were obese in 2017-2018, according to a new report. “These new data show that this challenge touches the lives of far too many children in this country,” said Dr. Richard Besser, the president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which produced the new report.
