| Do today's children like extracurricular activities, or are they forced to participate by their parents? |
|---|
It is a very pertinent question. Every parent should try to find the interest of the child. They should not try to impose on children, if they don't like the activities. That will become burden for them, instead of entertainment. So what ever activities children enjoy spontaneously, they should be allowed to do that in a way so that their other activities are not hampered.
| Is extracurricular activity necessary for children? |
|---|
Extra curricular activities are necessary for children because it:
Improved Academic Performance
Participating in activities can increase your child brain function, help them concentrate and manage their time better, all of which contribute to higher grades. Induces a sense of discipline and ensures better coordination.
Explore Interests.
When one participate in multiple activities, one will get the opportunity to explore a range of interests. Helps developing a passion/hobby.
Higher Self-Esteem
The more your child achieve success through activities they're passionate about, the more their self confidence will improve.
Social Relationships
Every extracurricular activity one engage in, provides one with another opportunity to expand. Helps make new friends. Increases bond with peers. Helps connect with people around.

A child, be it sports, art, music or whatever, will be a more disciplined and responsible child in the future. All physical or other sports outside education can be called extracurricular activities which are very important for children. Good luck to you.

Hello, the positive effects of extracurricular activities could not be clearer, I highlight the one that favors sleep, this is important because the child needs to sleep his full hours, rest and if it is a child diagnosed with hyperactivity or ADHD even more, these activities relax him especially sports.
