As every parent knows, if you have children, you worry about them all the time. However, it seems that these days we're worrying about our kids a lot more than we used to. Are we trying to protect our children too much and will this cause problems in later life?

Kids in Britain used to walk to school every day in the past, but now parents don't let their children go out on their own in case something bad happens to them. If children stay indoors all the time, they will become weak. This means they will have health problems in later life.

The danger of letting your kids go out by themselves is smaller than you might think. The media makes parents worry about children's safety. But children are safer now than they have ever been. If parents want their kids to grow up healthy, they shouldn't protect them so much. Children need to make decisions themselves.

Over 27% of British children are now overweight, partly because they spend too much of their free time playing computer games and watching TV. But if kids never go outside, they can't learn to look after themselves in the real world.
