Some people believe that children are given too much free time. They feel that this time should be used to do more school work. How do you think children should spend their time?

Time

is the most vital resource we have. Some say that

children

should do school-work during their free

time

. I strongly think that not only

children

should study in their free

time

but

also

they should play sports to use their

time

effectively. There are multiple avenues to use spare

time

for

children

, but I feel that attaining a well-rounded education is the most important task of childhood. Though

children

study at various schools, lessons learnt can only be applied outside of schools.

For example

, even though Geography is taught at school, observing the patterns of nature requires students to step outside of their schools so they develop practical understanding.

Additionally

, a child can read about topics that are not part of his syllabus and that can inculcate skills that are needed beyond academics.

Children

can,

secondly

, use their free

time

effectively by playing games. As it is evident that playing is essential to building the character of an individual, so taking up sports at an early age can really work wonders for

children

. It teaches us to accept defeat and to carry on without getting bogged down. If a child can understand

this

early in life

then

it can be a prime catalyst to develop the right attitude.

For instance

, Sachin Tendulkar learned early in his childhood that despite being short, he can compete physically with big boys, which was instrumental in him being a renowned sportsman later. To conclude, the free

time

of

children

can be used efficiently by playing sports and by honing educational skills.

Thus

, I feel that it is important that

children

manage their

time

well so that they can be the best human being.
