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 these views and give your opinion.

A child’s mind is like a piece of clay that can be moulded into any desirable form. Leisure

time

is a great opportunity for children to acquire useful skills and to entertain themselves. Perhaps due to

this

, some parents are encouraging organised activities for children while others believe in letting their children occupy themselves in their own way. I feel that children’s participation in team building activities would keep them fruitfully engaged. It will

also

prepare them for handling multiple endeavours in the future. Playing regular sports

such

as cricket, football, and badminton or attending art classes to learn musical instruments, singing, and dancing sounds productive. Children busy with these scheduled pastimes would be less prone to spend long hours on TV, phones or the internet.

Additionally

, they might discover their passion while pursuing these arranged activities. On the other side, some people would like to leave it up to the children to follow their interests. A free and non-coercive environment could foster creative abilities in children.

For example

, activities

such

as building a castle in the sand or crafting a prototype of a bus, train or animals foster creativity in children.

Moreover

, the instructive nature of

sorts

sessions may not interest everyone and leave them with minimal or no

time

for relaxation. In my opinion, I feel children should be motivated to pursue

systemized

arrange according to a system or reduce to a system

systemised

undertakings in their idle

time

.

However

, they should be spared some

time

to ponder and tinker with things around and nurture their own hobbies. It should possibly be under careful guidance.
