A member asked:
Is it fair for little boys and girls to be forced to play sports?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but yes!: Every child needs physical activity, not only for physical health, but also mental health. However, activities must be tailored to likes and dislikes. A quote of mine! "what is the difference between play and exercise? It is like sex versus artificial insemination. If you enjoy it, no one has to force you to do it!" it is important to enjoy physical activity, since it carries over to adulhood!
