Children’s Fitness

When an adult thinks about exercise, the first thing that comes to his/her mind is exhausting workouts in the gym on a treadmill or lifting weights. But for kids, exercise can have entirely different meanings, because playing games and being active is also exercise, helping the kids get fit. Kids exercise when attending gym classes, dancing classes or soccer practice at school. They also exercise when they're at playing games, riding bikes, or having fun at the swimming pool.

Today, most people follow such hectic lifestyle routines that no one has enough time to engage in regular healthy activities like gym sessions or sports. It’s also true that many parents don’t have enough time to properly encourage their children to take part in regular and organized sports and physical activities. Exercise and fun sessions also help to boost confidence and learning power of a child.

An extreme result is female infanticide or even killing of female fetus in the womb itself. In basically agrarian societies, no one wants to be burdened with an unproductive member in the family, in partially agrarian cultures, no one wants to have a girl whose social status is far below that of the boy and in marrying whom off, the family is often crippled by debt. So, infanticide or feticide is a better option. But more on that later

The young baby is fed in a wrong way, even before its birth. In the womb, the child depends for its nourishment on what the mother supplies to it.
