About 40 people gathered in the ¹ú²ú91ÓÈÎ︣ÀûÔÚÏß¹Û¿´'s Medicine Building to hear Dr. Janssen speak about his research into keeping our children healthy. His talk focused on why physical activity and outdoor active play are vital for a child's health and the barriers to getting children outside. He commented on fears that outdoor play is dangerous and noted a lack of recognition that unstructured activities are important for growth and development.
