So Hong is gone and I am taking over the blog.... she did such a great job - I am a little nervous about following in her footsteps!
Summer has finally arrived in Prince George and our summer programs are in full swing. YMCA staff is so great with all the kids I really admire their energy, patience and committment to making sure each child has a great time. Every parent should feel very confident about leaving their children in our care! We make sure we return them home at the end of the day tired but happy from a day of enjoying the great outdoors!
On that note, an interesting study was just released about the links between TV time and waistline size in children. It was conducted by the Universite de Montreal and the St-Justine Mother and Child University Hospital and has been tracking the same 1300 children since 1998. Increased waist size leads to health problems and lack of physical prowess. When I compare my childhood activities to those of kids today, we definitley were outside more often. However, saying that we only had four tv channels and video games were just something you played at an arcade! Not really fair to compare? More to come on this...
