Some people believe that children’s leisure activities must be educational; otherwise they are complete waste of time. Do you agree or disagree?
ONE PART OF THE WORLDS POPULATION APPEARS TO BELIEVE THAT
LEISURE
ACTIVITIES
OF CHILDREN
MUST INCLUDE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
, AND IF THEY DO NOT THEN
THEY ARE A WASTE OF TIME
. IN THIS
ESSAY I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT MY OPINION ABOUT THIS
TOPIC AND GIVE REASONS WHY. FIRST OF ALL, PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE THAT LEISURE
HOURS SHOULD DEPEND ON THE CHILDS
MOOD AND SCHEDULE. SO I DO NOT AGREE NOR DISAGREE WITH THIS
STATEMENT. BASICALLY MY POINT APPEARS TO BE THAT IF A CHILD
HAS ALREADY BEEN RELAXING ALL DAY THEN
EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
INCLUDING: READING, EDUCATIONAL GAMES
AND EVEN PUZZLE SOLVING SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CHILD
LEISURE
TIME
. HOWEVER
IF THE CHILD
HAS ALREADY HAD A TIRING DAY, THEN
THE LEISURE
ACTIVITIES
SHOULD BE CHOSEN BY THE CHILD
AND BE ACTIVITIES
THAT MAKES THE KID MORE ENERGIZED. THE USUAL ACTIVITIES
CHOSEN BY THE CHILD
INCLUDE: PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
, WATCHING VIDEOS OR MOVIES AND FROM TIME
TO TIME
THE CHILD
EVEN CHOOSES TO SLEEP. THE REASON FOR THIS
STATEMENT APPEARS TO BE THAT FORCING A CHILD
TO DO SOMETHING CAN WASTE THEIR LEISURE
TIMES. WHEN THE CHILD
IS ALREADY TIRED, LETTING THEM CHOOSE THEIR OWN ACTIVITY CAN ENERGIZE THEM A LOT MORE, MAKE THEM HAPPIER AND EVEN MAKE THEM A BIT MORE PRODUCTIVE. MOREOVER
, WHEN A PARENT CHOOSES THEIR CHILDS
ACTIVITY, THEY CAN BE MUNDANE OR BORING FOR THE CHILD
. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THE MOST COMMON ACTIVITY CHOSEN BY CHILDREN
ARE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
. IN MY OPINION, EVEN VIDEO GAMES
CAN EDUCATE A PERSON. ACCORDING TO
RECENT STUDIES ONLY FIRST PERSON SHOOTER GAMES
ARE HARMFUL FOR CHILDREN
. ALL THE OTHER TYPES OF GAMES
CAN IMPROVE A PERSON IN MANY SPECIFIC WAYS. FOR INSTANCE
RHYTHM GAMES
CAN IMPROVE A CHILDS
HAND EYE COORDINATION, ADDITIONALLY
GAMES
THAT INCLUDE FOREIGN LANGUAGES CAN TEACH CHILDREN
LANGUAGES QUICKER AND EASIER. TO CONCLUDE
, I DO NOT AGREE NOR DISAGREE WITH THIS
STATEMENT. INCLUDING EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
IN CHILDRENS LEISURE
TIMES SHOULD DEPEND ON THE CHILDS
SCHEDULE. IF NOT THEN
THE CHILD
WILL BE TIRED ALREADY AND WILL NOT GRASP THE IDEA OF THESE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
, THEREFORE
MAKING THEM USELESS.Submitted by a.fahradova on
