Many residents ask them to disperse as they are noisy or there is a risk of their window panes breaking. I feel really sad for these kids. These are their teenage years and they are bursting with energy which they want to channelize by doing some physical activity. And, then we lament that our kids are becoming obese and spending so much time in front of computers and TVs. As parents, we have to encourage all children to play. Today, our kids may be younger but tomorrow they will need this same space we deny these other children.
Also, how many parents actively encourage their kids to go out and play. With numerous tuition, extended school timings, classes etc., the children are hard pressed for time and the first casualty is their play time. Unless we teach them and lead by example that it is indeed extremely important to go out in the evening at least for an hour and play; not only will we raise a sluggish generation inclining towards obesity but also saddled with health problems in the future.
So, urban folks like me — go out there and encourage your child to play, cycle, swim, anything that they enjoy and that keeps them on their toes physically. It will reap them rich dividends when they grow up and give them an all-rounded personality as well.
