Greetings to all my fellow Steemit companions, wherever you may be, and may good fortune accompany each of you always. Today, I return to join a competition hosted by the Handwhale Community as part of the Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 16 Week 1. The contest poses an intriguing question:"Which is very important for children's brain development: Studying or Playing?"

What is more important for children in their childhood, playing or studying?

In order to address this question effectively, it's crucial to first define the stages of childhood. A person's life journey begins in childhood and progresses through stages such as adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Traditionally, childhood encompasses ages 1 to 5, while the period from 6 to 12 is known as early childhood.

During the formative years of one to five, children benefit significantly from ample playtime. Their minds are particularly receptive to learning through interactive play and engagement with toys. However, in today's fast-paced society, children lead increasingly demanding lives compared to previous generations. Even nursery-aged kids are now attending multiple tuition classes, a trend previously uncommon until grade 10. The weight of school bags often surpasses the child's own weight, highlighting the academic pressures they face. While academic pursuits are important, it's essential to acknowledge the need for playtime to prevent mental fatigue. Without adequate opportunities for play, a child's ability to retain information effectively may be compromised.

In my opinion, both studying and playing should be given equal importance in a child's daily routine. If a child spends 5 to 6 hours studying, they should have a 1 to 2-hour break for play. Parents play a pivotal role in ensuring a balanced approach, prioritizing outdoor activities to promote holistic growth and development in their children.

Are today's children lagging behind in studies and sports? If yes, explain the reason

In today's fast-paced world, technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate. With the widespread use of smartphones and computers, individuals are increasingly immersed in digital experiences reminiscent of their youth. A growing number of elementary school pupils are dedicating extensive periods to mobile devices and computers. Engaging in gaming activities offers children a form of physical and mental stimulation. However, excessive screen time diminishes opportunities for traditional play and can encroach upon daily study routines. In the absence of judicious parental guidance and intervention, this trend may precipitate significant consequences. In the future, a greater proportion of children might exhibit diminished interest in physical activities, thereby adversely impacting their academic pursuits.

Is online education useful to your children?

Yes, of course this is very useful in gaining children's skills and knowledge, especially in this modren era.
And I believe online learning doesn't directly affect children's mental and physical well-being. However, it does demand increased parental supervision. To ensure our kids stay mentally and physically fit, we as parents need to establish a balanced routine, allocating time for both study and relaxation. While it sounds straightforward, providing attentive care remains crucial in this regard.

Hello friend

You shared how the academics of the kids is vital in pruning them for the future. You highlighted the early childhood age bracket, the childhood and other essentials... You shared how important it is for play time in the kids showing time frame for each kid to recess in order to avoid academic brain fatigue and enable the assimilation process of the kids. You stressed that these kids are tasked with lots of academic stress through heavy work load and other things. I enjoyed your entry and success in the challenge my dear friend

You said in your opinion, both studying and playing should be given equal importance in a child's daily routine. Very well said friend. If a child spends 5 to 6 hours studying, they should have a 1 to 2-hour break for play. I think so too their should be a balance in life for a child.

Wish you good luck in the contest friend.

Thank you so much dear of your beautiful words.
