A recent report by the American Heart Association—an organization that encourages adults and kids to stay healthy—found that today’s kids are 15 percent less healthy than kids from years ago. What does that mean? Let’s say you’re a 12-year-old girl. You’re not a sports superstar, but you’re pretty good. Let’s say your mother was at the same kind of kid when she was at your age. Now imagine we could set up a mile race between you and your mother from 30 years ago. The study shows your mother would probably beat you in the race by 90 seconds. It was the same for boys. An average boy from 30 years ago would beat an average boy today.

The scientists who did the study think there are some reasons for the big fall in fitness. First, too many of today’s kids are overweight(超重的), which makes it harder for them to run fast. Second, kids today don’t get enough exercise. Doctors say kids should get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. That’s why it is important for schools to have P.E. classes.

So what should kids do? If you don’t want your parents to think they are faster than you, don’t spend a lot of time playing video games, watching TV or movies. Instead, do things that will get you to move.

Almost all Chinese parents hope their kids can grow into successful people, so they make their kids learn all kinds of subjects after school. Though some kids are very young, they still spend much time doing their homework and taking part in after-class activities. They nearly have no time to do sports and housework or anything else.

Each year, 80 percent of parents spend at least 6,000 yuan on different classes for their kids. For example, young kids have to learn English, swimming, painting and so on to follow their parents’ wishes. Most of the parents think that early learning is good for kids. Most kids who go to after-class activities are under 6 years old.

The famous educator Lisa Houghton says, “Although learning different kinds of subjects is important to kids, it’s more important to make them have a happy childhood. Parents should spend more time having fun with their kids, not just making them stay in the classrooms.”
