In recent years, the number of children participating in sports and other physical activities has decreased. Identify some of the resulting problems and state ways to address them.

Extra curricular activities play an integral role in children's lives. Since the

last

decade, there has been a decline in the number of adults who participate in sports events. The main

problem

with

this

is that they become obese and their hidden

talent

is overlooked.

However

, a possible solution might be for teachers to reduce the

homework

and parents encourage their children to participate. One

problem

which stems from not taking

part

in any activity is obesity. Having said that, after spending eight to nine hours in school children have to do their

homework

along with some extra classes.

This

burden usually prevents them from participating in any sports event like cricket, football, running and tennis.

As a result

, they put on their weight. To resolve

this

issue, teachers should teach in a way that least

homework

should be provided to them, which enables them to pay attention to recreational activities.

For example

, a survey conducted by the New York Times in April 2019 showed that the majority of adults who take

part

in different events are more active and fit compared to those who do not. Another

problem

due to not taking

part

in curricular activities is neglecting hidden

talent

. Every adult possesses a unique

talent

inside him or her

such

as athlete, swimmer, dancer, etc.

Suggestion

However

they are often ignored by their parents owing to the heavy burden of studies. To tackle

this

problem

, parents should encourage their offspring by setting a time limit to pursue their desired field. So that their

talent

will be utilized and appreciated.

For instance

, Sachin Tendulkar of India who became well-known cricketer in the world is because his parent recognized his

talent

in childhood and supported him to be a cricketer. In conclusion, restricting children from taking

part

in sports activities can cause obesity and ignore hidden

talent

. Only when teachers reduce the

homework

and parents value their children hidden talents, will be the

problem

solved.
