For lack of exercise, we are bringing up a generation of children life less healthy than it could be, and many of whom are likely to be at high risk in later life of serious disease and shortened life expectancy.
children life are active, but many are not active enough for a healthy lifestyle. Moreover, children life may be active, but not in a way that is health promoting (Biddle and Biddle 1989).
It seems likely that we, as a nation, underestimate the learning :apacity of children life in these first years of life, because of our assump-:ions and accepted notions about young children life. Received wisdom about very young children life in UK society, or established 'regimes of ruth' (Foucault 1977), have resulted in our having one of the worst ecords of nursery provision in the European Union and even 'life-ong education' plans propose the start at three years of age.
