Are We Toying With Our Children's Health?

Are you ready to go back to the good ol' days of children playing Duck Duck Goose and Mother May I in the backyard? It seems that those type of children are almost completely non-existent, and we've replaced them with children who are dependent on technology and toys that require batteries, or better yet, electric outlets.

It may seem so much easier to keep an eye on our children when they are locked down behind the Wii, Playstation or computer, but the truth is, even if our children have turned in outdoor play and exercise with education television and games, they can be facing some detrimental statistics.
