Some people believe that it is important for young children to go to school as soon as possible. Others, however, believe that children should be allowed to stay at home and play until they are six or seven years old. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Why?

Children are born free and deciding the right

age

for starting a formal education in schools has been a topic of contention for a while now. While some parents believe that children should be allowed to be at home until the

age

of six or seven the others believe that it should be started as soon as possible. While there is no right or wrong answer to how you raise your

child

, I believe three to four years of

age

is the right time to enrol them in the

school

. These days we have families where both parents are working full time jobs and it becomes more than a matter of choice

but compulsion

Suggestion

but a compulsion

to put the children in

school

from a very early

age

. In nuclear families, it is difficult for parents to take care of the

child

while having full time jobs. It comes as no surprise, that the 90% of parents who support the thought of sending children by the

age

of six or seven were households where at least one parent was a homemaker, or they had their parents living with them. These parents

also

believe against burdening the children with books and studies from an early

age

and believes in natural learning and

development

. They believe that children should gather intelligence and logic naturally while staying at home or playing in the garden. They

also

feel that a

school

environment restricts the

child

’s natural instincts and behaviour, which should be left free of any boundaries and restrictions. Children energy levels are very high as compared to adults. They have a natural curiosity to know things, to touch and feel everything around them. Their early learnings are a stepping-stone to their mental

development

and attitude. While at home they are used to of seeing a specific set of people regularly, it is

also

important for children to meet and engage with other children of their

age

, that’s where

school

plays a big role. A study

also

shows that the mental

development

of the

child

is at the highest between the

age

of three to seven years,

this

is where the

school

becomes important for the

child

, as it feeds the curiosity of the

child

when the

child

is most receptive and absorbs everything they learn. To conclude, I believe children should be enrolled in a

school

by the

age

of three to four years when they are most receptive.

This

would not only help the

child

develop through human interaction but

also

help in building a strong foundation for the

child

and help in
