I was always outside as a child and really enjoyed playing with my friends, but it's true these days that technology had well and truly taken over, tablets, laptops, playstation even Netflix, that's all my girls seem to be bothered with. I do encourage them to play out but after a while they're bored so come back in straight on technology!!

THe amount of children that are now afraid to get dirty and have fun is growing and it is such a shame, I encourage my children to get out as much as possible and love getting involved with them, getting wet and dirty myself.Kat Allinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977795970598860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5208066297844230208.post-34177491101714102082015-09-06T14:41:16.988+01:002015-09-06T14:41:16.988+01:00I have 4 children and two are often found attached...I have 4 children and two are often found attached to ipads but while he suns been out i have made them go outside and play , we have a very big garden luckily and they are happy to spend hours outside making potions, riding bikes and scooters and playing on the trampoline. I agree clubs are a great way to encourage fitness both my girls do majorettes and one comes with me to zumba weekly, i think its a mixture of parents finding it easy to give in to technology and also there are more and more people struggling to buy food each week so i think more people go for the easy routes of freezer food or quick meals, when i was younger even though both my parents worked we always had a cooked dinner and its one of the traditions ive carried on with my own children. We do indulge once a week in take away but always have roast each week and i make most things from scratch. Fortunatly i have the time to do this at the moment, others i know arent so lucky xxJo4chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841827797003173100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5208066297844230208.post-80148225257294902322015-09-05T14:14:59.157+01:002015-09-05T14:14:59.157+01:00I totally agree - put the tech down and get outsid...I totally agree - put the tech down and get outside to play. Try to get your children to join as many after school sports clubs as they can. You never know, they might like it. My daughter goes to badminton which she loves and is free at her school. However, all these activities after school impacts on her homework, which in my opinion she gets too much of. But that's another issue!Maya Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880637181497299569noreply@blogger.com
