Tina and Tim like the idea of kids boxing. The American Academy of Pedia=
trics doesn't. In fact, they strongly advocate against it, owing to the =
likelihood of serious injury--particularly to the eyes and brains of smal=
ler children. =20

I would much rather see the kids getting involved in a
sports activity, than gathering at the arcade and
wasting away into sloth-dom...(that's a new word
according to me.)
Too many critics......not enough good ideas like this
one. I say go for it!! Not my cup of tea, but who am
I to tell others how, or how not to spend time with
their children?
