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

In general, sports are as important to mental development as food is to physical development. Kids are spending more time on mobiles and computers due to modern gadget occupations and fantasy games. Their focus is less on sports and education and I think this topic is apt to discuss that.

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

Both play and study are essential for children. However, education should not be compulsory. If a child is forced to read, those things are not recorded in his brain, for example, when we watch a movie with great interest, the scenes in it are imprinted in our mind, but we cannot remember a thing we saw somewhere when we are walking on the regular street or on trips. The reason is the interest in it and so is the study. As our children study it when they are not interested, the subject of the study does not register in their brain.

At the same time the game is easy for them to register. For example if they are taught to ride a bicycle they learn it quickly whereas if they are taught an arithmetic puzzle it takes them a long time to learn it. So I feel that the study should be a game-based study which is very good if it is practical.

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

Yes the main reason for that is mobile phone and modern technology equipment. Because of this children have forgotten traditional games. They avoid playing outside. Instead of playing with the kids next door, they are playing online with kids in another country. There is not enough space for children to play together. They play on their mobile phones and computers while sitting indoors.

This is not a healthy thing. This causes a lot of mental damage to children. Also, they are not active on a physical level, so they suffer from many physical ailments. These are the seeds for obesity, thyroid, indigestion etc. As a result, children lag behind in sports and education. Especially Smartphone games cause various problems to children's body and mind. Damage to eyesight, lack of physical exertion, hunger. So children should be made to focus on sports and education. Sports equipment should be used by them. As much as possible, electronic gadgets should be avoided. The traditional games which includes running, jumping and playing keep children mentally and physically stimulated.

Is online education useful to your children?

The education system hs been changed after the pandemic. During the lockdown period, everyone stayed at home and engaged in school activities online. You are entrusted with the responsibility of monitoring the child. They spent a lot of time alone because they didn't have friends of the same age. You may also remember how classmates took care of each other.

Before the lockdown started, our children learned about online methods in a different way. Although they were physically distant, they were always in touch online. Because of this, children were always safe and careful. At the same time 74 percent of the students who participated in the survey said that 'in-person classes in schools are more effective than online courses'. Looking at their opinions, it is clear that no matter how many modern technologies are introduced in education, our traditional live class methods will always be better.

School is not just a place to learn what is in textbooks. It also involves learning some important interpersonal skills and establishing relationships. Physically spending too much time in online classes can affect children's health. There are chances of obesity due to sitting for long periods of time. Studies also show that some children may have seizures when they spend too much time on electronic devices.

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

Studying directly in school or college can provide students with discipline along with education. But nowadays it is not possible always to go to schools and colleges or coaching centers.

Today's students are more inclined towards modern technologies. Their attention is attracted by things that are full of technological know-how and entertainment. It is an indisputable fact that a teacher faces problems while teaching remotely. We can predict students' understanding when we take lessons directly in classes. Through their body language we can know their mood and how much they have understood what we are saying. But in online classes the teacher does not know for sure what environment the student is in.

In some classes, students listen to classes on the go, listen to classes while playing games, and attend online classes while watching television. And the dialogue between teacher and students does not flow smoothly. It is a fact that all these together greatly affect the exchange of knowledge and understanding that takes place in a class.

By modernizing the training courses and communication online, the students will focus on learning with great enthusiasm.
