It's sad the days when you can hear children laughing and playing outside are gone. I rarely see children playing outdoors anymore. I remember when we were kids, we woke up in the morning looking forward to play. Now, children are now in front of their gadgets or TV in the morning.

These kids today are missing out on a lot of things they can get from playing outdoors.

1. Playing outdoors can be an exercise. Part of those games are running or jumping which can make their body physically active.

2. Interaction with other kids. I remember before I get to become friends with our neighbors because we get to know each other. Of course, there are fights but we can learn from them. It's sad seeing kids today who has no interaction with other people except in school.

3. Dose of sunshine. Kids nowadays, especially those privileged ones, are at the comfort of their home or air-conditioned room. But having a dose of sunshine has good effects on the body.
