Parent counselling for child development

Playgrounds in the city are decreasing day by day due to ceaseless industrialisation, creating a severe shortage of healthy leisure activities. Although mayors and counselors, before every election, make statements about building playgrounds for each ward, they forget these promises soon afterward. As a result, children aren't able to play football or cricket because there is no free land; these sports are being replaced by mobile apps and games.

How will a child's mind work without proper physical exertion? How will their eyes be protected from prolonged use of devices? I believe that schools should introduce counselling programmes to educate parents about how harmful it is to hook a nine-year-old with a smartphone, and a heavy bag of books for coaching classes. Parents must encourage more healthy physical activities for their children.
