With the invention of computers, video games and smartphones, the world has become a different place. The lure of screen time has changed the way kids play and decreased the amount of physical activity in their daily routines. Research shows that rather than playing outside, kids spend an average of seven hours each day on “entertainment media” (such as TV, computers and phones).
The Motherhood is proud to be working with Dr Pepper Snapple Group on its Let’s Play initiative to provide kids and families with the tools, places and inspiration to make active play a daily priority.
In mid-2015, we worked with bloggers to help publicize the program and build playgrounds in underserved communities in Camden, N.J., and Dallas, Texas; more recently, we’ve helped complete and build a playground in Milwaukee, Wis.; and we’ll complete work on another next week in Los Angeles. In December, we’ll help build and share about a fifth playground in Little Rock, Ark.
