kids50s1_203.jpgIs modern life making our children depressed? A group of more than a hundred top scientists, teachers, childcare experts and even children's authors have written to the Daily Telegraph saying that it is.

They argue that they need 鈥渞eal food (as opposed to processed 鈥榡unk鈥), real play (as opposed to sedentary, screen-based entertainment), first-hand experience of the world they live in, and regular interaction with the real life鈥.

They also say that children are having to cope with too much homework, are forced to grow up too quickly, but yet are too protected from the world.

So are they right? And is it really possible to live a life with children where they only ever climb trees and graze knees, never watch telly and don't do too much homework? We want to hear what you think. Do the letter writers have a point or are they harking back to a 1950s idyll of childhood that never really existed.

We鈥檒l also be discussing this topic in Tuesday鈥檚 programme.
