Balance boards should be banned outright

This content was originally posted in 7DAYS UAE website at: Balance boards should be banned outright Regarding balance boards, this ‘innovation’ should be banned in totality. The manufacturing, distribution, sale and use thereof. There is absolutely no use for it and it is beyond my comprehension why a parent will buy this for any child. Our already inactive, technology addicted children now have one more reason to do even less, if that is possible. The other night while exercising at the District 1 track I see…. Yes that is correct, two children on the balance boards “exercising”. Our children have stopped using their brains because mobile devices and apps does it all for them, and now they are encouraged to stop using their legs. So good on airlines and airport for confiscating them and hopefully they get burned in an incinerator. I know there are certain malls that have banned them and I hope all malls follow sooner than later. As you can gather, this is something I am quite passionate about because we, as adults, are helping the next generations to become couch potatoes. We even have people writing letters questioning why children should be tough to read and write! What a shame. Anton, UAE Read the original story at: Balance boards should be banned outright
