    That is so true. But I think one of the causes is that children in particular stay in the house more. They have the tv, video games, the internet, and other little gadgets to keep them occupied while in the house. I remember we had atari and the first nintendo when we were growing up but we still went outside to play double dutch or to have dance or stepping contest. And dont mention anything about being grounded. My life ended when I had to stay in the house.

    I remember getting up at around 8am and going outside until it was dark. The only time I came in was for lunch and dinner. It is just a different day. Like you said we have Nintendo Wii’s, 360’s, PS3’s, and Club Penguin (if your kids don’t know what it is keep it that way..my son spends way too much time on there) that can easily keep the kids inside the house all day.
