Amidst all the expert advice out there, one simple lifestyle change may help: let your kids walk to school.
"Most kids are being driven to school simply because their parents think its safer. Its the same fear that allows many parents to turn a blind eye to their kids screen time. Few will admit it, but Im convinced many parents are secretly thrilled their child is spending hours staring at a screen in the family room or basement, rather than running or cycling around outdoors." (Source: The London Free Press)An increasing number of kids are falling prey to heart attacks, strokes and other life-threatening illnesses. Parents are right to be concerned about their children's safety, but overreacting to safety concerns may be result in today's children being the first generation who are so unhealthy that they wont outlive their parents.
