In this present year the young generation is a bit different from past years. The reason for this is the presentation of the video game. Whether or not you are young enough to have been at the beginning of the on going gaming period you will realize how amusing, addictive & envolving computer games can be & if you are elder and mist the video game period you probably will not recognize why young children use up hours all day long playing these games. Quite a lot of children these days spend several hours playing these computer games, there is nothing wrong with that if their having a good time but now and again to much time is used up in the house in front of the television.
Now that the warm season holidays are starting in the U.k. and as a parent how can you cut the time your children use playing on computer games in front of the tele . You could prohibit them from using their games but that would in all probability cause problems & arguments. The preferred tactic would be to encourage children to engage in recreation outdoors just like in the olden days.
To do this here are a few gift ideas that ought to help to get the kids outside and into the clean air.
By far the most popular item to buy would be the bicycle, but not any old bicycle. The trusty bike craze almost died out in the uk after the introduction of the reilghy Chopper, but now their back with the introduction of the mountain bike. So which bike should you get to encourage your child to get out of the house, not any old bike, that would be too easy. There are now many brand names at different prices and unfortunately the better brands can be quite expensive. But all is not lost, a quick search on ebay can reveal hundreds good bikes at low prices. Kids love to show off things they own so a bike is a good way to keep them active, sociable and outdoors.
Another idea would be sports equipment and the most popular is football. Football has been vastly popular amongst generations all over the world and always will. As long as there is a place to play football kids can easily have a kick about at anytime of day. So what can you get as a gift for your child, that has something to do with football and will encourage them to play outdoors. The first thing that springs to mind would probably be a football but it's not something that lasts long and is easily lost or worn out if not playing on grass. So what can you get? One of the best things that children love is a football kit or football shirt. If you find out your childs favorite team you can spend next to nothing on a football shirt or kit. Most kids love to show off what they have got and show what team the support to their friends which would mean getting out of the house and socializing with friends. All these shirts, kits and jerseys are branded with popular names such as Nike and Addidas which is also popular amongst kids. Most can be bought from sports shops or even cheaper online shops.
Next on the list is something radio controlled. Radio controlled cars and planes are cheap to buy and provide loads of outdoor fun. Radio controlled cars are good for lots of kids to play at the same time providing they have different radio controller frequencies. The planes would only be suitable for the older kids but before you dismiss the idea thinking that radio controlled planes are made of bolster wood and take hours to make gluing them together in the attic take a look at some of the plane available now. Most are small plastic electric powered planes that come ready made and ready to fly outside at a nearby field or park
These ideas if done right will encourage kids to play outside and hopefully if more and more parents have the same ideas most children will spend more time outside in the fresh air rather than indoors in front of the Tv.
