Sedentary Lifestyle Among Children
Children these days have settled into a very sedentary and inactive lifestyle. There can be several reasons or excuses for it. They may be constrained by the load of studies and tuitions, extra activities at school, may complain of general tiredness, find better effortless and easy entertainment through television and computers etc.
Children have been exposed to a variety of comfort products, gadgets and devices and this has reduced the thrill and initiative for physical effort, sports, hobbies and adventures. They are very much under the influence of passive entertainment like listening to music, chatting online, surfing the internet for miscellaneous irrelevant unhealthy data, video gaming, playing on the mobile handsets and frequent texting and messaging.
This culture among children has to be changed so that they can be engaged with more physically healthy and mentally stimulating activities. It will not only aid their physical, mental and spiritual growth and development, but will avoid health implications like obesity, lack of stamina, general tiredness, muscle stiffness, dullness and passivity.
Creating awareness about the avenues of recreation other than sedentary ones is a must. Some kind of physically invigorating activity will catch their attention. It is just the matter of helping children to discover it. Make it a point to utilize days off for traveling, going for picnics, places of interest, places that boost a sense of adventurism and exploration.
Kids today have highly developed mental faculties and will not settle for the ordinary. They have to be exposed to more challenging, stimulating, thought provoking occurrences, activities and events so that their dormant underlying characteristic of being inquisitive, experimenting, exploring can find expression and result in unleashing their creative potential.
Left to their own devices they may not get the kind of guidance or knowledge that can lead to discovery of a physical activity that can catch their attention and they will be stuck with what is popular and easily available to them. Information dissemination is the key to make children proactive.
