New Survey Shows Time-Stressed Moms, Over-Scheduled Kids Want More Outdoor Play

Before T-Vs, D-V-Ds, home computers and video games, kids spent most of their free time playing outside. But today, according to a national survey, 50 percent of moms say their children typically play outside fewer than five hours a week.
