Bringing the subject back to children playing in their back garden on trampolines etc. It seems a shame that parks aren't used so often anymore, and that we fear for letting our kids go out by themselves to walk or bus there. Our paranioa of paedophiles, feral gangs, traffic dangers etc has certainly had a most unfortunate effect. As has the decline in youth clubs, cub and scouts etc.
And yet chidren, who eat far more high sugar diets than yesteryear, require something healthy and lively to help burn off the excess energy, whilst simultaneously develop social skills and a sense of camradary, mutual respect and an understanding of cooperation in their micro-world.
Sadly, I feel that we are hoisted by our own petards in our overzealous (but understandable) need to protect.
