A is for App—- not good! Get your kids moving!

http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/144/a-is-for-app.html

Read this article in Fast Company magazine a few days ago…. actually from last month. Anyway- seems like there are lots of apps for the three R’s….

A very bright guy- Joe Friedlander of Hazen, ND- wrote to the editor of Fast Company and explained that (Sorry I can’t link to the letter— I have scoured the FC site for it and can’t find it) we are raising a whole new class of sedentary people.

His exact words are, “… sedentary lifestyle encouraged by a proliferation fo digital devices designed to have us sit and stare—- our fingers are the last things moving. I … bemoan the ever-growing percentage of children that literally tip the scales after years of snacking and sitting in from of a screen. If we don’t get our children moving soon, in 20 years, we’ll have a population full of digitally literate diabetics.”

Well said Joe—- what do you think? Do you work hard to get your kids moving??
