Playing or Studying, which is More Important for Children in their Childhood

Studying and playing are very much important to kids. Parents/ teachers use this approach of studying and a little break for playing to make children understand what is being taught easily.
Both play and study plays an important role in children's lives and I will compare them in the below table;

Play	Study
Playing enhances creativity	Studying provides knowledge
It contributes to emotional resilience	It helps children to pursue their interest
It allows kids to learn how to solve problems	Studying makes children critical thinkers
It improves the children's communication skills	It improves the children's academy skills
It is good for physical, emotional and mental development	Studying is a foundation for future learning which in turn makes children contribute to the betterment of the society.

Creating an equal balance between playing and studying is very much necessary for healthy childhood and children's growth.

Presently, Are Children Lagging Behind in Studies and Sports

Yes, today's children are really lagging behind in studies and sports because of distraction in terms of different technological innovations provided for them. Most kinds prefer to play video games with phones or pads than studying or stepping out to engage in physical sports. Parents focus more on the academic development than sports that is another reason why it seems as if children are having less experience when it comes to physical activities.

How is Online Education Useful for Children

Online learning is very much useful for kids because it makes their learning process easier and faster. Online education gives room to a wider knowledge on various things. These knowledge depends on the method of learning such as; the type of program the child is learning, proper guidance from parents and the style in which the children are using to learn.

The Effects of Online Education on Children's Mental and Physical Health

Online Education is very important in the lives of our kids because it is an avenue for fast learning either at home or in class. But the problem with online education is its positive and negative impacts on the children.
The negative impacts on online education for children are inability to have a good communication skills and interact physically, effects on Children's eyes due to light from the screen, headache and mental detachment from peers.
