Promoting healthy kids through play

At Climbing Tikes we know We Promote "healthy kids through play" because we know just how important it is to encourage our children to play outdoors.

In today's society, video games and computers have taken the place of playing outside for many children. Lack of physical activity can lead to obesity and a number of other health problems and children who do not spend enough time playing outdoors are typically deprived of social interactions and natural stimulation. Recent research has found that children who play outside for an average of 90 minutes per day in good weather have less risk of heart trouble later in life. Playing outside not only makes children healthier, there are a number of other benefits to a child's growth and development provided by outdoor play.
