Our presentation is divided into 2 parts:

- The first one, we will talk about “Why aren't children playing outside
anymore?”

- And then, the second one, we will move on to Playing outdoors is good for
kids.

OK, so it’s going to take about … minutes in our presentation.

And, I would be glad to answer any question at the end of presentation.

Let’s get started.

I- Why aren't children playing outside anymore? (Vi)

- As you all know, Technology is more popular today. Therefore, Children are
attracted with new entertainment mediums, from more established tech like TV
and film to cutting edge games, social media and mobile phones.

- In addition, nowadays some parents are always busy with work so they cannot
spend time with their children. And they are always worried about controlling their
kids. So they implicitly accept letting their kids spend whole day watching TV
or YouTube instead of keeping an eye on them.

- And we can see the kids express a clear preference for sitting on a couch in
front of a screen over playing outside. On average, a child is said to spend 4 to 7
minutes a day in play outdoors, and over 7 hours a day in front of a screen.

- This is not to say there are no benefits to playing inside. Indoor activities can
seem easier and safer for children because they do not face the dangers of
nature.

- However, this risk averse culture is actually harming kids rather than protecting
them as it is contributing to them having a far more coddled childhood, leading to
a lack of independence later in life.

-SO, we must balance children's activities so that they are developed in the best
way.

Now, we are together moving on to the next part.
