Exercise is a panacea.  However, it appears to me that some parents are not aware of these important benefits for children:

Improve Intelligence (cognition or thinking problem solving ability)

Improve concentration/attention span

Improve mental stability

Enhance happiness  

Enhance sleep

WHO (World Health Organization) therefore has a recommendation for exercise for children age between 6 and 15:

  At least an average of 60 minutes per day of moderate- to vigorous-intensity, mostly aerobic, physical activity, across the week. 

Vigorous-intensity aerobic activities, as well as those that strengthen muscle and bone, should be incorporated at least 3 days a week.
