The Hindu – Raj Ganpath
“A couple of decades ago, almost everything we did was physical. We walked a lot, had no video games or cell phones, lifted heavy things and played sport that demanded some form of fitness. Kids now don’t get a chance to move freely. Even if they want to, they just don’t get the time, space or company to do so. Also, every task and chore has been made so easy that they don’t get a chance to use their bodies on a regular basis the way we were able to. Physical activity is the only solution. Irrespective of what sports kids choose, being fit enough to play is necessary. Kids need to move, and if it doesn’t happen naturally, we’re going to have to enable that.” (more)
