How Can Extracurricular Activities Help Children's Physical And Mental Growth?

Extracurricular activities can help a child in so many ways beyond imagination in a sense that through this activities which is outside the school curriculum a child can easily find and define themselves beyond the realm of classrooms

Because sometimes like they say that who they children are in a classroom isn't always who they really want to be, and that certain level of liberty in after school sessions helps them in freely expressing themselves in they manner that suits them the most thus leading to self discovery.

Do Today's Children Like Extracurricular Activities, Or Are They Forced To Participate By Their Parents?

On a normal sense children like participating in extracurricular activities more than classrooms activities because to them classroom activities is always boring and you are not even free to behave the one you want to as you activities is being influenced by the teachers.

Every child wants to go out for games and hang out with friends especially peers of the same class and age, because in a child's life that is were freedom lies but sometimes it is the parents that would be forcing them back to class activities.
