Why are kids not doing enough exercise during the summers?

Agree with Dr. Yoder: I would add, though, that many of our kids are not doing enough exercise during the other three seasons either! i tell my patients that they need some exercise daily, and that the only day they are allowed to not exercise at all is the day of their funeral (which, i add, i hope won't come for a hundred years or so).

Shift in Culture: Not long ago raising a fit family was easy. Kids walked to and from school, had more recess time and more gym classes. Children spent more time playing, and less time sitting in front of a tv, computer or video game. It's a shift in attitude and behaviors as a family that result in more fun and fitness. http://getrealforkids.com/resources/real-parenting/fitness/2510-fitness-is-a-shift-in-attitude#.
