Today there are more activities, more schoolwork, more communication, more demands on our youth than what I experienced growing up. This means kids spend more time indoors. This has been linked to increased: ADHD, Diabetes, Obesity, Depression and Suicide. There have been all sorts of studies that show being outdoors can help reduce all of these.
