Today's children also spend less time outside, where they might have more opportunities to explore how their bodies move through space, learn to balance and figure how to handle toys and tools in relation to one another.

When I was a kid I was always outside and even today I spend at least a few minutes of every waking hour outside.

yes....when I was young all I heard was “get out of the house”, winter, summer, go and play outside, and we did, went swimming in the summer, ice skating in the winter, never a dull moment...
