There are some theories that take this one slant farther and say that the key is getting back outdoors. When my child is outdoors, especially when he's with a parent, he is very active and he is a completely different child.

There's a book I'm just starting called "The last child in the woods" and it goes into detail about how children have changed, spending more and more time indoors.

So, I would give a thumbs up on your thoughts and add "try to be active outdoors also!"
