In today's competitive world we live in, parents seem to be much more worried about their offspring than in the past. Some advocate that their fun space should have a more educational focus rather than simply playing.
Although
parenting has started following Linking Words
this
trend, I personally tend to disagree with the concept, and the reasons will be covered in Linking Words
this
essay.
Linking Words
Firstly
, childhood is only a quarter period of a person's life. Linking Words
That is
the time when we can explore the world. So, prioritizing studies during that time will have detrimental effects on the growing age. Linking Words
Moreover
, children acquire cognitive and social skills through play. Linking Words
For example
, they will be able to develop sustained attention through play as they enjoy it more. Linking Words
Also
, learning is not necessarily through books. Linking Words
For instance
, Children learn vocabulary through context than from books.

Additionally
, the trend shows academic emphasis has become increasingly growing, which has counteractive effects. To elaborate, many students in the UK are reluctant readers. A recent survey has witnessed that 90% of them were forced to concentrate on studies since childhood. There is no scientific research that suggests studying even in the free time helps in overall development; Linking Words
moreover
, evidence shows the reverse is true. In fact, Finland ranked 6th best in the world in reading though their primary classes are completely play-oriented.
To conclude, it is evident that everyone gets leisure space at a young age. Involving the young more into academics does not help in any way. Linking Words
Hence
, no one should miss the fun of discovering nature unconditionally.Linking Words
