Some parents say that children should play individually more than in a group. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this and include your own opinion.

It is an irrefutable fact that play an important source in the holistic growth and development of younglings.Some parents believe that playing individually is a positive phenomenon while

others

believe

that is

a negative trend with some drawbacks.Both the merits and demerits will be discussed before a reasonable conclusion is reached. The

first

and foremost reason for playing solo is that it enhances cognitive development in a child.It is seen that

children

who play on their own become independent and make better decisions in later life.Kids while playing faces various situations that are hard to handle especially in an imaginative game and

then

they use their critical thinking skills to reach a conclusion and overcome the problem.

Moreover

, in isolated ,play there are fewer chances of mental and physical trauma to the child.

For instance

, it is often observed that when many kids are playing they fight for things or may bully each other which causes injury to one of them.Whereas, in solo ,play there are no chances of aggression or bullying which keep their self-esteem intact and reduces the risk of physical and mental health problems. As it is the reality that both the positive and negative aspects are the two sides of the same coin which run in parallel.So, playing individually

also

have some flaws.In

this

world, competition is growing day by day .

Children

can learn to compete with

others

only if he or she plays in a group but

children

who play individually fail to learn how to positively compete with

others

.They

also

lack cooperation and team spirit in them.

In addition

, most of the sports ,

for instance

, football and cricket are played in the team only. So , it is important to learn to play with

others

who have a common goal.They do not have the capability to interact with

others

impressively and communicate their needs.They become introverted and suffer from problems like stress and anxiety. In conclusion, I believe that for the mental, physical and spiritual growth of a child it is important that

children

should be encouraged to play with their peers as well.

This

is helpful in their personality development and teaches vital things that are needed to function better in society.
