4. Children Exercise 1 .................................... 1. In recent years, children have become increasingly inactive. While technology often receives blame for this trend, it is not the only factor at play. Urbanization has led to a lack of safe play spaces for kids. Many neighborhoods no longer have parks or playgrounds, forcing children to stay indoors. This combination of screen time and limited physical activity opportunities is contributing to a decline in children's overall fitness and health.
