Which is very important for children's brain development: Studying or Playing?

It's great to be able to greet you all in the first week of the Steemit engagement challenge, the Hindwhale Community community brings us to exchange views on the world of children. Hopefully what I convey is what you expect, so this article is useful for anyone who reads it. To shorten the time, I will start it.

All children are individuals who have their uniqueness, their similarity lies in how their process develops. The uniqueness here relates to their favorites, their interests, and their talents. Children also have different characters, not all of them have something in common. Some children have active and energetic characters, some children have quiet characters, some children have spontaneous characters, some children have lazy characters, some children have selfish characters, there are also angry ones, and there are even those who have high curiosity.

Because of the uniqueness and different characters, the childhood of children depends on the uniqueness and character, so that the education they get can be directed by playing and learning. The right method will bring children through childhood much better, so they get time to play and learn properly.

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

A child's world is a world of play because for them life is to play. Whenever and wherever they have the time and Opportunity, children will use it to play. You need to know that by playing children again develop their physical and also cognitive, that's why playing can increase their learning creativity so that children can learn creatively.

Play is a way of learning for children so that the two cannot be separated, because through play it is expected that children can develop individual creativity to the next stage, and this can only be done by themselves. Freedom is needed in this position because freedom has a great influence on their development. Their freedom in playing is not far from the way they try to get to know themselves, others, and their environment. So in this process, they learn as individuals by playing, how they hone their skills and also bringing out their talents and interests so that it becomes a learning experience. But this is all they have to go through with the guidance of parents, teachers, and also their environment.

So for me, playing and learning are equally important. Because the way children develop their minds and also physically is by playing, it is from playing that they learn.

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

Currently, several setbacks occur in children when they review the way they play as their world, the decline is caused by the playing style of children who prefer online and offline games only, games in the real world as a way to develop physically, and also the mind seem to be forgotten and become a considerable setback.

The sophisticated world takes children out of their play habits as a way of learning, so they cannot know themselves, those around them, and also the talents they have. All in disrepair by technology that we consider as the development of the times, so forget the meaning of playing while learning the real.

Is online education useful to your children?

In my opinion as an educator or teacher, online education actually cannot be a good way to learn. The impact of online education makes children unable to use their hearts and feelings to obtain education, they tend to be selfish because they are dealing with something that is not real as play as a learning process.

Indeed, for certain circumstances online education is reliable, but only 20% of the development needed by children. To improve physical development, Mind, problem-solving, critical and creative thinking need of the process of playing while learning with something real so that it can be felt and learning can be obtained directly.

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

There is always an impact and also the influence of technology that is developing today, especially in the world of education where there are children as users. Mental health is just one of several problems that arise from the use of technology, even if it is used as an online education. Changes in social behavior have a really visible mental impact, not to mention the health effects that affect children as radiation has long-term consequences for health, especially physical.

In the end, there is nothing more perfect for children than learning and playing in real life, when this is directed and guided by the age and uniqueness of each child, then the physical, mental, and emotional growth can encourage creativity that leads to increased thinking power and intelligence of children. So that the world of children's play will not be lost, walking perpendicular to the learning that is by what they want.

That's all my simple post, I invite @dove11, @solaymann, @msharif, and @chant to participate, best regards to all of you.
