Some children are turning into a bad transformation. They are falling into a category of obesity. Personally speaking, they need to do some outdoor activities. It would be a balance-lifetyle for kiddos between electronic devices and outdoor activities such as playing marbles, hopscotch, hide-and-seek, and the like. It is still fun being with friends in the playground than staying in the house for a long period of time. Image Credit: pixabay.com

Yeah..if I had my way...I'd say all buildings should have trampoline on their terraces...with enclosure...and maintain them...properly.

You're right... Kids should be kids. They need to play outdoors and experience the life of being a kid..

I remember when I was a kid playing hide and seek in the dark. I hope kids nowadays will still play for it.

I also agree with that. I don't mind electronic devices during the old days. It would be fine to play outside with childhood friends.

What is happening often are the adults are looking at the children and wondering about their activities but then the adults are using the devices too. You are right I think some games are disappearing like marbles for example.

@Shavkat yes that's true. As long as they have something that keeps them busy. I think children copy adults however and not everyone is keen on outdoor activities?

@Bluedoll I think they can involve their children in having extra activities like to study how to play musical instruments or depending on what is child's skills.

Some parents use devices as the babysitter of their children.

That's true. They became fat because they already eat technology. :(
