Playing or Studying. Which is more important?

Playing is something that is important for a child. Without us even realizing, they actually learn more while playing. I think it's good for the child's motor development which makes their imagination more active. And it makes it possible for the child to have the ability to solve existing problems.

And of course, the most important thing for a child is to learn. We need to give them formal education such as math, reading and writing. But don't let learning overwhelm them. Some bad things can happen because of that.

So as a parent, we need to understand and take on the role of balancing the two. The best option for children is to play while learning. Let their imagination grow while providing formal education. The point is they get a fun learning experience.

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

I don't think so. Whether at school or anywhere else, sports are always fun for kids. When something is fun, it will be loved. Like soccer or other sports, of course it's very fun.

But nowadays, we see a lot of phenomena where technology dominates everything. Even some children are not interested in sports and tend to play with their gadgets. So physical activity is often neglected.

Therefore, the role of parents is again the main factor. Parents should introduce sports to children in a simple and fun way. I think that will make children love sports.

Is online education useful to your children?

I think online education has a huge impact on child development. Everything in this day and age is inseparable from the development of technology, one of which is online learning. It is a good thing because children can keep up with the times and also increase creativity.

However, there are always negative effects. Children can be too distracted by their gadgets and start to abandon their social interactions, which is one of the indicators of intelligence. So again I think the role of parents is needed to give direction about it.

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

Online learning forces a child to sit in front of a screen a lot. That's actually good but there are some bad effects for a child.

Sitting for a long time in front of a computer can cause physical activity to be greatly reduced and it makes a child's body weak. Then eye health can also be compromised due to frequent staring at the light from the computer.

Online learning also allows a child to experience anxiety because they feel isolated and because they rarely have social interactions at school. They may also worry about it and stay away from social interactions because they feel more comfortable interacting through social media.

Conclusion

Learning and playing have a great impact on a child's development. But the most important thing is the role of parents to direct and balance them. Because I think anything that is excessive is not good.
