The approach of entertaining children is controversial issue. Some people believe that parents are responsible to persuade their children to participate in organized team activities in their free time, others think that it is significant for children to learn the way of occupying themselves on their own. I will discuss it here.
On the one hand, those who support the first view point out that. This strategy have positive effects on them. It could contribute to them to be sociable. By joining in organized team activities, children would have to interact with other members, from a useful relationship with them. Contacting with them and having a conversation about that activity, helps them to learn fundamental principles regarding to negotiating with each other which is part of socializing. This way improve one aspect of their character. Secondly, they could learn to sharee their ideas with other members and reach to an agreement. In this practice,they could learn to respect other’s beliefs and would refine the principle of team work which is based on collective thoughts.
On the other hand, those who advocate the opposite view cite that there is a reason which is of paramount significance. They have to learn a new skill in their free time which would amuse them. Planning for an activity to be entertaining means that it should be constructive, that it adds a positive dimension to them, and it appeals to children, so as to do in their free time alone. It leads to getting involved in acquiring a new skill which is useful and entertain them. For example building a maket that children need to familiar with detaild technics about it that these would amaze them and simultaneous would improve the skill of making a market which is an incentive to do it later on their own. As they would face with difficulties of making a maket and then solving it, it leads to boosting their selfconfidence.
In conclusion, according to different views about the way in which parents should persuade their children to join in organized activities or learn how to entertaing themselves alone in their leisure time. I would hold the first view because of having positive views towards socializing, which could be useful for their future.
