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

In my view, when it comes to whats important for kids in their childhood, then both playing and studying are necessary. Playing is like a job, its how they learn new things and explore the world around them. Playing helps them understand and develop important skills like creativity, problem solving, and social interaction(communication).

If we try to stop kids playing then it will negatively affect their exploring, experimenting, and experiencing new things of this world. These things lay foundation for their future learning. So it's very important for children to play in their childhood.

On the other hand, studying is also important. It helps children gain knowledge and develop academic skills that help them for success in school and later education life. Playing don't give them discipline but studying teaches them discipline, focus, positive attitude, and critical thinking skill. It is like building a strong educational base that will open doors of various opportunities for them in near future. So both are important.

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

Yes, it doesn't seems like but it definitely happening that today's children are lagging behind in studies and sports. One main reason that I think is the root cause of this issue is technology and screens. With so many gadgets and video games around, kids are spending more time indoors, sitting on gaming chair and playing games all day. This has affected their physical health as they are not involved in curricular activities.

Another reason might be competition and pressure to succeed. Nowadays, parents and teachers force kids on academic achievements which give them less time for sports. They are spending more time on studying or attending extra classes which leave no time for physical activities. We have to understand that not all kids can top or achieve high marks and we must allow them to choose better for their life.

We must understand this that maybe a child wants to become a crickter, footballer, wrestler, or any other person but we force them to become engineer, doctor, lawyer, scientist etc. It puts great pressure of them which result in no physical sports activity.

Is online education useful to your children?

I am 50 50 for online education. First is it can be useful as it provides flexibility, allowing children to learn at their own pace, and in comfortable environment. Specially it is useful in pandemic like one happened in 2019 Covid-19. In such situations, online education is useful and I am with it.

But on the other hand, there are many challenges in online education. Sometimes in online education, children miss out on the social interactions that they get in traditional schools/classrooms. Also, the focus is disturbed in online education. I personally not with online education because of these issues. Physical classess are always helpful in interaction, focus, and development. Teacher can focus perfectly on each student in classroom.

How does online education effect your children's mental and physical health ?

Online education can have both positive and negative affects on our children's mental as well as physical health. On one hand, it can provide a sense of safety during pandemic like one happened before Covid-19. It keep them safe at home while their studies are not affected. Plus it offers flexibility which helps in reducing stress for children who are struggling with tough schedule.

On the other hand, spending too much time on screens can negatively affect their eyes, brain and physical health. I myself is spending a lot of time on screens and I have personally seen its negative affects. My eye sight gets weak, my mind is not focusing much and even I am getting unhealthy. But to cope with it, I am now doing exercise regularly and taking medicines to strong my brain and eye sight.

So I think online education have both positive and negative affect on our children but if situation want us to go with online education then we have to go otherwise I am against it and physical classrooms are much much much better.

Greetings dear friend,

Thank you very much for presenting us with a beautiful post.

Their play becomes useful for themselves, from playing they can learn various creative and work, such as building houses with clay, making various things with clay, but then get an idea on it, not only that, but also in this case, learning is also an important thing through play. Can be studied, moreover Virtual education seems to me to be harmful to children, there is a risk of visual and mental damage to them, good luck to you.

¡Holaaa amigo!😊

La educación de los niño se debe dar bajo las teorías Holística y Vicario porque, de esa manera ellos van a obtener sus aprendizajes a través de experiencias personales y, cuando la exploración nos enseña, el aprendizaje es 100% significativo por lo que, el desarrollo físico y motor se logra.

Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica, un fuerte abrazo💚

I love this word "playing is like a job, it's how they explore the world around them." Yes children are always busy when they are given opportunity to play, they get so busy like they have been given a task and that is where they can channel their energy and get things done. When they use such energy in their studies as they play, it helps them study well and learn fast.

Yes, a lot of children have been denied the access to physical socialization, they prefer staying all indoors with their tab to play video games, there are side effects to this no doubt. Success to you!
