California state rep wants limited gaming time in day care facilities |
Ó
Kids are gonna have to find something else to do while waiting for
their folks because California stateswoman Julia Brownley is proposing
limited gaming time in day care facilities in the state. The state may
not have succeeded in keeping the games from kids, and now they're
trying to keep kids away from the games.According to Assembly Bill 627, almost 20% of kids between two to five years old are overweight, and it's gonna be harder to reverse at adolescence and adulthood. For that, and a lot of other nutrition related reasons, state rep Brownley wants to limit gaming time in day care centers to one hour a day.
Furthermore, the games "shall be limited to educational programming or programs that encourage movement." Naturally, Wii Fit fits the bill.
Well, if it helps kids move around and stay active, this one's okay. It's just for an hour in the day cay center anyway. How about you guys?

Day Dare Facilities, lol.
..I was gonna say that :-D
day dare..haha
anyway, it's fixed now!
Just .. a preschool-ish one, kids before Kindergarten. So I don't think this applies to me, but I think that it should be an official "suggestion" or something, not a rule .. Limit gaming time? What if a lot of kids are there and they want to rotate?
