Parents pull kids from sport over concussion fears
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
More than one in four children across Australia have stopped playing contact sports due to parental concerns about head injuries and concussion. The trend has extended beyond contact sports, with some parents now restricting their children's participation in non-contact activities and outdoor play. Experts warn this protective approach may be excessive and could negatively affect children's physical and mental wellbeing.
