With the growing dependency on technology and lifestyle changes, children are less active as compared to their earlier generations. This, in many ways, can pose huge risks to their health, both long-term and short-term, which may or may not be visible immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adverse effects of a sedentary lifestyle can show up in later stages of life and deteriorate their health in the long-term if changes are not made early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sedentary lifestyle is a type of lifestyle in which an individual gets involved in very little or no physical activity at all. This kind of lifestyle is the common reason behind the rise in lifestyle diseases among children. In general, a sedentary lifestyle doubles the risk of cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and even psychological effects like depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At The Manthan School, one of the&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themanthanschool.co.in\/faq.php\">top 10 schools in Delhi NCR<\/a><\/em><u>,<\/u> we engage our students in various gaming and extra-curricular activities that help enhance their physical, intellectual, emotional, psychological, and motor skills development. We request the parents to ensure that your kids don\u2019t turn into couch potatoes and remain equally active at home as well. If we can lay the right foundation for children now, it will help to set the tone for promising years ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last updated on November 21st, 2025 at 06:12 am The digital era has reached a point where pretty much everything, right from learning and entertainment to shopping, is available right at the touch of a button.
