Today's children and teenagers grow up in a busy, stressful and fast paced world, experiencing awkward growing spurts, crazy hormones and powerful media messages about body shapes and sizes. School exams, bullying and parental separation are issues many youngsters face. With less emphasis on PE in schools and more on literacy and numeracy to meet ever demanding education targets, children are being denied their natural freedom of movement, imagination and inherent creativity. Added to which the popularity of television viewing and computer games have led to postural problems and not surprisingly childhood obesity.
