According to some people, children`s spare
time
 must be filled with some extra-curricular activities to avert them from wasting their

 and make them fed up with lessons at an early age. A good reason not to interfere children`s free

 is that, it gives them an opportunity to enjoy their free

However, it
 can lead to lack of communication skills, one crucial for every child`s future, as children will have less

 to socialize with their peers. The increase in the number of unsociable people probably stems from

 by giving them individual lessons mean that, they will be overburdened at an early age.
