Some people believe that children should spend all of their free time with their families. Others believe that this is unnecessary or even negative. Discuss possible arguments on both sides and say which side you personally support.

Over recent decades, there has been a growing debate on whether teenagers' spare

time

should be spent with family members or outside. It is increasingly common to find youngsters partying and chilling out with peers until hours end, or staring their eyes with gadgets.

However

, while these can help building their social development and independence, I agree, to a large extent, with psychologists who feel that giving attention to parents and siblings is a lot more worthwhile due to building solidarity as well as safety. It must have to be acknowledged that spending leisure

time

with peer groups and teachers,

for instance

, is advantageous.

This

is because these social interactions are an imperative part of adolescents' lives and those who lack these may turn into introvert which has many drawbacks in their adult lives.

Furthermore

, pupils can learn new skills

such

as skiing, running, dancing or driving by enrolling various courses that

also

require managing a significant amount of

time

for different locations outside.

Nevertheless

, we should not ignore the fact that devoting relaxing-

time

entirely to the parents and siblings can be advantageous in several ways.

First

and foremost, it can dramatically improve solidarity among family members which is vital for a child's physical and intellectual well-being. Since these days, youngsters hardly get

time

for relaxing, it is recommended to have a quality

time

whenever possible. Another crucial reason relates to having safe-favourable environment. When children spend

time

with parents or other close members, it is highly likely that they could keep themselves away from many detrimental consequences by the Internet and social media. Clearly,

this

can protect them from numerous potential perils

such

as cyber-attack, bullying, paedophile or, at least, gaming addiction. In conclusion, the upsides of family

time

for bonding and keeping safe from negative repercussions are far greater than the advantages of having

time

outside of the family. It makes sense for the guardians to control their

offsprings

offspring

in a way that can lead them

into

a happy-adult life. Many sagacious and forward-thinking guardians have already put

this

idea into practice, and I fervently hope that others will follow suit.
