This summer, Delhi-NCR hasn’t just turned hot, it’s turned harsh.
Temperatures are touching 47°C.
And the ones feeling it most aren’t just the elderly – they’re our children.
City ACs may cool the skin, but they can’t protect the soul. Because children weren’t meant to grow up behind curtains and cooling vents. They were meant to run, breathe, and bloom – like the trees they’ve been cut off from
☀️ The Heat is Real — And Dangerous
Pediatricians across NCR have seen a rise in:
❌Heat exhaustion
❌ Frequent headaches
❌ Dehydration and low appetite
❌ Poor sleep and irritability
According to a 2024 AIIMS report, children are more likely to suffer from temperature related stress than adults due to faster metabolism and higher skin surface area.
And it’s not just physical — it’s emotional.
☀️ Screen Time Is Up. Play Time Is Down.
Locked indoors, children are spending hours glued to screens. No parks. No playgrounds. No relief
Their world has shrunk to four walls and one remote.
But nature , real nature offers something ACs and cartoons can’t.
☀️ Sportsland: The Summer Their Bodies (and Minds) Deserve
At Sportsland, the heat feels different.
Because under trees, the air is cooler.
Because here, play is shaded, safe, and slow.
