Education need to be Outdoor
Today, however, Children are losing touch with the land, water, and wildlife that sets our nation apart. They spend most of their time in indoor activities. And the pressure of studies doesn't let them to enjoy outdoor world. Children spend half as much time outside as their parents did. That means less time playing and fighting, fishing and swimming, hunting and hiking, camping and exploring, hiding and seeking. This trend is one that we can and must reverse by helping Youth get outdoors and reconnect with the places that make our country so special.
We need to create enthusiasm among the Nation's young people about protecting our natural and cultural heritage. We need to run Programmes throughout the Nation to offer opportunities for youth to learn about lands, our waters, and our cultural Heritage. We hope that these programmes can turn Interior lands into outdoor laboratories where students and teachers can experience first-hand the science lessons they learn in the classroom.
Unhealthy Eating and TV Viewing
If you're concerned about your child developing unhealthy eating habits, becoming lethargic or gaining excess weight, it might be time to put them on a diet. A television diet, that is.
A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behaviour conducted by UC Davis examined the commercials running on 12 networks during the weekday afternoon and Saturday morning hours, the times when children would be most likely to be watching. Out of 5,724 commercials recorded, 1,162 were food-related. And of those, 70% were advertisements for fast-food, junk food and soda; 34% were for places that sell or products that are considered ''food on the run."
What can parents do to curb the amount of junk food messaging their child sees every day?
