Over the past 15 years, world declarations and statements on children’s rights, sustainable development, chemical safety and most recently climate change, have succeeded in cultivating a global focus on children’s health and their right to a healthy environment. Many international calls for research in the area, have also been able to identify patterns of environmental diseases in children, assess children’s exposures to many environmental toxicants, identify developmental periods of vulnerability, and quantify the cost benefits to public health systems and beyond, of addressing environmentally related diseases in children. Transferring this information to front-line health care providers and increasing their awareness about the global burden of disease attributed to the environment and children’s especial vulnerability to environmental threats is the salient aim of this commentary.

hello Wendy!
Nowdays childrens prefer watching TV and playing computer games than reading. I think this happens because neither playing computer games nor watching TV need (needs? ) a lot of effort and it’s easier because you don’t use your imagination.

I think elderly people are the ones who read more often (…who more often read?)”

Getting out and walking outside is important for children to become strong, healthy adults. Putting on excess weight will take years off of a life, but the good news is, it is never too late to start being active and begin taking the pounds off. People just need the will to begin and sometimes that is the hardest thing of all to have. We need children to begin learning about nature and pollution impacts now so they will be commited to good environmental stewardship when they get older. The best way to learn about nature is to go outside and spend some time in nature. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

It is through play that we learn best because it is easy to learn when we are having fun. Play, more than any other activity, fuels healthy development of children.

I agree totally with you! We should sports more.Watching TV seems not too bad a thing but if we put much time on it then it does harm to our health.

I agree with you. The problem is the kider much too early to be out of range computer and watch TV. a childhood with play in the dirt, climb trees or just make sport that no longer exists. all only play on computer, chat or watch tv all day. I myself have a little daughter five straight years old. and many of their friends already have a computer or even have their own televisions. I introduce myself an internet show for school children to give them what is really possible to play on the computer instead of just pointless

I have been accepted into a graduate urban planning program which will have great environmental and sustainability courses. What environmental career options are out there from an urban planning perspective?

Outdoor games like marbles, jacks, hopscotch not only occupy your kids, they will also strengthen coordination skills. Too hot or cold out? The garage, basement and/or kitchen floors will work fine too.

Here is a prescription for happiness called “One Hour Living”. If you follow it, people would go outside walking (or exercising) for an hour a day.
