Thanks for the article, Diane. One thing I am definitely passionate about it children playing outside or inside as long as they are not vegging all day. Television and Video Games have taken over to the point where children don't go outside to play anymore because they'd rather be playing Guitar Hero or some violent game like Modern Warfare which they probably shouldn't be playing in the first place. I cannot ban video games 100% in my house because my husband owns an XBOX so it would be contradictory, but lucky for me he plays it about twice a month if that.
It's a constant struggle with my teen sister to get her go outside for a walk. She constantly complains about being overweight but has decided that going outside "is boring" or too much work, apparently.
For us, our children playing outside will help us take some time to ourselves and the children get their daily exercise.
