There are distinct views about children activities in their free time. Whereas some people claim that, parents should encourage their
infant
 to take part in organised
group
 activities. Others object to that view and argue that they should occupy themselves on their own. I have dissenting opinions from the

group
. Register your
infant
 in an organised
group
 activity have an array of benefits. The foremost being, learn discipline and follow instructions. Those skills play a pivotal role in the life of an adult.

, having your child spend some of their free time entertaining themselves, can develop other areas of their brain. Playing alone, makes children use their imagination boosting the development of creativity. Which is an important life skill.
For example

roup. In summary, both views of
this
 topic play an important role in the development of a child. As I said before, I tend to believe that investing the children's free time on an organised
group
 activity, can contribute much more to its life.
