[quote=Anonymous]All children and adults need to spend time outdoors. The amount of time will increase as the children get older. Everyday is optimal. Playtime at a park or in your yard is a great place to start. The vitamin D we get outside is necessary for our physical health. In addition , you want to be able to teach your children about this amazing earth God created for us. This is difficult to do if they can't experience it for themselves outside. Exercising for children is much more fun outside then indoors and they get a lot more exercise when they do it outdoors. Staying indoors all the time affects our mental health negatively. We see this in the winter when in some parts of the nation it is too cold to go outside for stretches at a time. [/quote]
