Some people say that parents should encourage their children to take part in organised group activities in their free time. Others say that it is important for children to learn how to occupy themselves on their own. Discuss both views and giver your own opinion

In today’s society, with several and a countless number of possible activities, the way in which children spend their free time is becoming a hotly debated topic.
