Motion generates a more active brain according to my reading of the scientific materials brought up in the popular press. The body has to learn how to interact with the environment and generally speaking sports provides this movement. I would if at all possible restructure a household so that children are not being babysat by virtual realities and that would include books.

First of all, great post! I’ve got a big question bothering me, I really enjoy the theme of your site and tried to install the same theme on my Worpdress website. Stil, there is some kind of strange coding error in the footer. Do you have any hints, which version are you using? Please PM me on Twitter @HealthNSweets or via e-mail.

I agree COMPLETELY!! As a teacher(and mother!) I have seen the peer pressure that is rampant in today’s schools. It is the man-up-manship at work!! I would love to see/read a profesional psychologists’ opinion on this…

I have spoken to many kids and teenagers abiut this issue, what I felt is that, there are multiple aspects of this behaviour of kids. Some of the kids have huge peer pressure, they want to be like their geeky friend(s).Some of the kids’ Parents have peer pressure, they want to compete with other parents, in turn they give more gadgets to kids, eventually spending very less time with kids themselves. Some of the Parents provide gadgets for kids, so that kids cant accuse their parents are too busy and negligent. And some of the kids are genuinly inclined towards “Technology”. I believe, we should tell kids that its perfectly ok if they cant compete their friends in technology. Even a grown-up person, cant know-all-the-gadgets..however hard he/she tries. Rather than, kids must also focus on sports, cognitive and brain exercises, social behaviour, meditaion, yoga as well.
