Hi Friends do you allow kids to play outside?Do you stay with them when they are playing outside and become kid and play with them?
Or do you want them to play inside the house?As doctors recomend that kids has to play as it will be a good exercise for them and it helps them in there growth and to be fit.But we have a threat to allow kids to play outside the house because of pollution and dust and kid may get hurt.
If we restrict them to house it inversely efects there mental growth and may cause they won't move friendly with others.
After all as parents we think about our kids health and it's future.so what you do you allow them to play outside and you stay with them?

Yes, i allow my kids to play outside. It is allowed as long as homework and chores are done. Plus someone has to be outside with them at all times. Since I have a disability I can't get out and play with the kids per say. I can do the sit down games and watch so they don't run in the road. Usaully neighbor kids come over to play as well. So we get a street full of kids. My teenage boy does play with the younger ones. Also helps teach them the things I can't..Like ride a bike.

Oh,yes. Plus my kids are loud. They love to raise their scream and yell. But don't all kids. My daughter swears that she is going to be a singing and cheerleader when she grows up.

My son plays outside at least once a day. We have a fenced in backyard, but I still stay out there with him because you never know what could happen. He has a slide and a lot of digging tools to play with. I usually read a book, I'm too fat to go down the slide lol. I usually wait until the evening to take him out so we don't have to worry about sunburns.

Mine play outside all the time. Now mine are 12 and 14 and we live in a very very little town so I don't go out with them but they do have to tell me if they are going some place and check in with me so I know where they are. When they were younger we lived in a city so no they were not allowed to go outside without me. I do love them being older and living in a small town for that reason.

Yes we do, as often as possible. Pretty much if it isn't raining then outside is fair game. But it also depends on what we have going because we have to be out there with him as he is only three. And well you can never be two careful no matter where you live these days.
As to the air quality they say that the air inside your home is worse than that outdoors.

if i had a kid, i will bring my kids outside to play so they explore the world. keeping them inside the house to play will not benefit the ablility to mingle with other children and mental growth just like you said. pollution maybe a problem, i thing it will be good to take them to parks that has trees and grasses.
