[quote=Anonymous]While I feel most of the competitiveness is driven by lack of opportunity. Pools, fields, courts etc. Another aspect is that there just aren't all that much else to fill kids time with or to cultivate being physically fit. When I was a kid growing up in a rural area. There were plenty of chores. Clearing the fields, weeding the gardens, bringing in wood for the fire, splitting wood, and then there were plenty of go run around and play outside. I mean sure you could have kids do art, science experiments, sniff glue, or something, but these all tend to be sedentary consumptive activities. Let's buy bags and bags of sodium bicarbonate so they can make volcanoes. Not to ding on art, but just pointing out that for kids in an urban/suburban area there isn't much else.[/quote]
