You know, we don't have to go to Massachusetts to realize that we're cutting back on physical activity opportunities for children. Was it not perhaps last year that kids couldn't play road hockey? I think there are many examples of how we as adults are actually cramping the style of our own children.
I can take that one step beyond. Although organized physical activity and exercise and sport are very important for children, do you realize that the more we have the whistle in our mouth, the less children do actual recreational play? So whatever strategy we come up with, it definitely has to involve unorganized play.
One of the most common things that one of my mentors, Dr. Oded Bar-Or--God bless him, he just passed away about a year ago--ever told families was to just put them outside. Give them an opportunity to go out and play; given that opportunity, they will find a way to be active.
I agree with you that we do need to be a little bit more specific on where we indicate our strategies need to lie, and if you look at the fact that children spend an awful lot of time at school, we can't ignore school as a potential backyard where we can institute changes. I think it's extremely important that we look at schools as opportunities to be healthy lifestyle workplaces for not just teachers and principals and students alike, but for janitors and everyone else who works in the school. I think we would have an opportunity there to make a healthy lifestyle choice or to allow children to have an option for healthy lifestyles as well. So there needs to be, I believe, an opportunity to create strategies that will involve schools, because that's where children spend a lot of time.
Marie, did you want to add to that?
