Some people say that parents should encourage their children to take part in organised group activities in their free time. Others say that it is important for children to lean how to occupy themselves on their own. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.

First of all, I want to say that so many people, so many minds, that’s why not everyone will agree with my opinion. But as a teenager, I can say that parents are interested in making their children's life more exciting and funny. Despite

this

, they can mistakenly think, that something has to be interesting for kids, that was interesting for them when they were young.

Therefore

it is necessary to discuss their decisions and ideas about them.

Firstly

, in childhood, I think, it is important to give freedom to kids and not force them to organise group activities, because in

this

period they are interested in communicating with their friends. As for me, I spend almost all my free time outdoors with coevals.

Also

, they get a useful experience of speaking with different offspring who can lie and deceive you and

also

how to protect themselves from them. But from another perspective, I can say that people must be educated and always seeks to self-development. That’s why, group activities are a good opportunity to get new skills for the future.

Moreover

, many teenagers’ hobbies have grown into their main job.

Besides

this

, the knowledge that they get earlier helps them to become the best in their business. To sum it up, I want to say that it is important for parents to keep in balance the after-school activities of their kids.

Also

, they must keep in hands that during

this

period they are making the biggest number of mistakes

due to

their youth and inexperience. So parents have to build strong relationships with their offspring before

this

to convince them that they can always rely on you.
