Imagine that, playing outside, what a concept. I sure hope it does encourage children and even their parents to think of doing more outside activities. Playing outside gives the child room to run, skip and get some good exercise that should aid with a beneficial sleep.
The benefits of exercise, running and playing outside cannot be overemphasized.
But only few children will realize this truth due to the distracting force from electronics especially gaming.
I think counselling and regular chatting with them might help.
