Kids Are Missing The Healthy Outdoors

My work as an assistant for an IT support website brings me in contact with the numerous individuals who complain that their computers are not safe. I repeatedly advise them to go in for a good quality antivirus software application. Nine out of ten complaints would be avoided if people used the right antivirus software application. I came back home to discover that my neighbor’s son was ill again.

I saw a parallel between the clients who visit my web site and my neighbor’s sun. Surely there must be something fundamentally wrong with today’s children. Why is that they fall ill so often? I realized quickly that children have stopped playing outside their homes. When I was young, I used to spend my entire free time out in the open. I used to be scolded for my wandering tendencies.

However, I now realize that my tendency to wander around ensured that I spent a lot of energy and was always fit. Today, kids have video games, computer games, music players, toy 4×4 cars and other such distractions inside the home itself. I too enjoyed all these distractions but only when it was too hot or too cold to play outside. Today, there are numerous facilities like sports complexes that children can use to enjoy the outdoors in an organized and systematic manner.

However, what is lacking is the desire to have a good time. The parents are to blame because they are not encouraging their children to go out and play. Until this happens, doctors will earn more simply because kids fall ill very often.
