Call
it one of the many perils of modern life – a large number of children in urban
areas today spend more time indoors in front of a screen than playing outdoors.
Any thing in excess is bad and that goes the same for screen time. Studies have
shown time and again that gaming addiction can impair brain structure and
function, altering cognitive abilities and the way people behave and interact
with others. On the other hand, outdoor play has several advantages
such as improved critical thinking skills and enhanced social interactions. It
can also help keep your child healthy and active, reducing his chances of
becoming obese. The below infographic shares more info about the importance of
outdoor play and how we can help our kids lead a healthy, active lifestyle.
