Children Vs Extracurricular Activities

How can extracurricular activities help children's physical and mental growth?

Children come to mind that they are playful and active. Whatever we see, they make us wonder what it is, what it is, what it will do, why it will do it. Once upon a time when they return from school, they used to drop their bags and go to graduation with their friends, playing game such as kabaddi, gillie, hide and seek, and playing active games.

But today's children don't play active games like this, we can see people playing computer or mobile games after school hours, staying indoors. In general, this cannot be said to be a good practice. Therefore, it is your primary duty as a responsible parent to teach your children various extracurricular activities to spend their free time effectively.

During extracurricular activities children engage themselves in various optional activities which helps in their future development. Children will get the classic team spirit during the matches with sportsmanship and leadership.

Moreover, Interpersonal skills are considered the most important social skills. Through such extra-curricular activities, children make new friends and interact with them. These activities help children to work as a team and contribute to the group in some way. These social development skills are skills that teach them how to behave and act in public spaces

Do today's children like extracurricular activities, or are they forced to participate by their parents?

Not everyone is talented by birth, they learn by watching and observing events in the world. Some things appeal to children, and some things disgust them. They want to learn such interesting things. So, it is better to teach them whatever kind of extracurricular activities they like.

At the same time, it is not acceptable for parents to impose things on their children when they are unable to achieve what they want. Things like this are happening a lot in society. In order to make the children famous in society, they force their children to learn the parents favorite fields think that they should achieve in same field. But the children never wanted to learn which they don't like. It causes stress for children.

Children suffer from severe stress due to homework, classroom tests and exams. As a result, stressed children cannot concentrate on their studies or their ongoing work. It is better to keep them engaged in their favorite activities of their choice during these times. No doubt it will give rest and refreshment to their mind.

Is extracurricular activity necessary for children?

In today's competitive world, children need to learn many skills. When all children are excelling in some field, there is a need for our children to excel as well. Therefore, learning any profession, art or skill will help him to progress in his life. Also, when he has an art in his hand, many opportunities will come to him, if he works hard in any field of interest and tries hard, he will become very talented and famous in that field, so extra curricular activities are very useful.

However, homework, classroom assessments, and exams cause youngsters to be extremely stressed. As a result, agitated children are unable to concentrate on their studies or current tasks. So there is a need for some refreshment and alternatives. As a result, whatever extracurricular activities they participate in benefit their physical and mental well-being.

Which are the best extracurricular activities for today's children?

Generally it is better to teach children in their field of interest but teaching me to swim is better because if they learn swimming they will be able to protect themselves whenever there is any danger in water in life. And generally children are very interested in playing in water so it is easy to teach them to swim.

In today's situation, most of the deaths are caused by floods, wells, rivers, lakes, sea waves etc. It is very important that everyone learns swimming to protect themselves from them. However, Some children are afraid of water but if they are taught to swim, their fear will go away and their confidence will grow

Also, if children practice swimming daily, their health will be healthy, body will be fit and looking good and beautiful, and if they practice swimming daily, their mood will also be happy and relaxed. So learing swimming is the one of the best curricular activity.
