28、g to BLS.There could be many reasons for that, but Rodgers thinks stagnant (not growing) wages and rising child care costs are two of them. “The recession (衰退)has caused a lot of people to think what they want in their lives,”said Rodgers. “Theyve decided they want to spend time with their kids. ”51

34、n Maloney, superintendent of Port Washington Schools, said in a local television interview, noting how playground injuries can “unintentionally” become very serious.The school district, in a press release, said that due to construction going on at the school, there is “limited space” for the childre
35、n to play during their 20-minute break. “With children in close proximity to each other, it is not safe for them to be engaged in unstructured play with hardballs,” said the district.Its not clear when the construction project will come to an end at the school and whether kids will be able to return
36、 to normal ball-playing after it wraps up. A call to the superintendents office for confirmation has not yet been returned.“This isnt smart.

Girls were much more likely than boys to be exposed to the great outdoors, while children in Wales had the lowest score across the UK. Th
44、e RSPB says that a perception among some adults that nature is dangerous or dirty could be holding children back.There has been an increasing amount of research in recent years underlining the lack of contact and experience with nature among modern children.
