fear of the sun / spending to much time inside is causing this and many other kids issues.
Kids bones are not as strong as they used to be because they are not getting enough sun to produce the Vitamin D needed to build strong bones.
Next time you see a large group of kids lined up with shorts or short skirts on..... look at their legs... nearly 70+ of them will have at least slightly knocked knees.
THAT was not the case when I was a kid!
And kids todays break there bones constantly. Nearly every kid in my kids school has broken at least one bone.
Heck I could count on one hand the total number of kids I knew growing up that every broke a bone, and I went to a school with 1,000’s of kids.
That can be fixed by drinking lots of milk and vitamin D/calcium OJ. Courting skin cancer isn't necessary.

Two of my kids broke bones-——and they were born in the 60s———none of my grandchildren have, and they were born in the 90s.
