Children are as busy as adults these days. They have school. They come back and finish their home works. Then they go for arts class. One evening they go for basketball while its football on other evenings. Weekends are filled with swimming and skating classes for some or dance and music classes for others. Of course, we tell ourselves all these are “extracurricular” and that our children really enjoy them. But do they?
A research done among 3,500 kids under the age of 12 found that kids now have only half the free time kids 30 years ago enjoyed. And that is too less. Why do we do this? Why do we fill their days with one activity after the other? Most of the reasons are logical.
Although all the three reasons above sound reasonable and logical, there are hard evidences to prove otherwise.
This is easier said than done. The following tips will help you achieve this:
Sometimes, it is very important that kids just spend time doing nothing. As parents we may this is sheer waste of time but in reality this could be the most productive time your kid is spending. He may actually be doing bigger and important things like dreaming impossible dreams, focusing on things which he normally doesn’t get time or just exploring the uncharted water. So go ahead give your child the gift of doing nothing.
All the best!
