Decades ago, children are physically active whenever they play games such as hide-and-seek, patintero and piko (hopscotch), chinese garter, among other games. But nowadays, children are much more interested in playing computer games and spends a whole day on the couch.
My daughter is like that also, prefers computer games versus physical games. However, it is also due to their school's academic demands which kept most of the students glued to the computer- no kidding. So whenever she has some free time, we play badminton. She is now looking forward to having badminton lessons although she still can't play weekly because of quizzes and home works.
