#people #parents #children #part #group #activities #time
A
group
 of
people
 have an opinion that guardians should encourage their kids to utilise their leisure
time
 by enrolling themselves on social or
group
 activities.
While
 some
people
 has counter argue that it is crucial for
children
 to learn how to occupy themselves in their personal life. I personally believe in the second set of
people
.
Thus
, both my view and my inclination will be discussed
further
 in
this
 essay. The first set of
people
 has many reasons why parents should encourage their
children
 to participate in
group
 activities. Mainly, leisure
time
 is a great choice to engross the
overall
 development of
children
.
Children
 should develop themself socially too, not only studying will help them to become good team players and good human beings but
also
 to develop that quality in a child parents should tell him to rather become lonely, go outside, make friends or join a club. In
this
 way,
children
 can learn from other
children
 and develop some social norms and reduce their self-centred nature. Still, I do not agree with
this
 set of
people
. On the other side, some
people
 believe that
children
 should occupy themself with their own useful tasks because by doing so they can be more productive. If kids would spend their
time
 studying well or learning some indoor skills
such
 as cooking, reading or playing indoor games with siblings
then
 they can be more personalised rather be less focused by participating in
group
 activities.
In addition
, to be personalised
children
 can obey their parents' instructions and can not have bad habits by following peers in a
group
, which
also
 makes them productive by not wasting their
time
 on unuseful tasks
such
 as gossiping with friends or criticizing someone.
Thus
, my inclination with
this
 set of
people
 is because being more centralized and personalised can help a child to learn how to value their precious
time
. In conclusion,
although
 being social and being a team player can be learned by participating in a
group
 activity, making an effort in a personalised development keep
children
 focused and productive.
