Decent Essays
Organized activities should be a foundation tought at a younf age.I agree that the children should participate in organized activities, so they can learn from young such thing as how to organize, schedule appoinments and other things they may need to learn for when they grow older, but i also do agree that the children play creatively to find themselfs .

Organized activities are great they help kids get ready to grow up and how make plans but kids also need time to find out who they are, to find out what kinda things they like to do, what kind of people they wanna be around and, to find ideas of what they wanna br when they grow up. In the passage it says children develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and social skills through creative

    In the article, “The Over Protected Kid” written by Hanna Rosin from The Atlantic, Rosin argues that independence and maturity is healthy and should be emphasized rather than suppressed in the younger generation. “The Land” in England, an adventure playground for children, helps to reinforce Rosin’s theory. Spread over many acres, this area is a supervised junk yard for kids disguised as a playground that serves to let them play, explore, and most importantly learn by their mistakes. This area allows them to create new memories playing with each other and helps them use their imaginations by utilizing the objects and tools around them to create a larger picture. This playground not only allows them to exercise their creativity is also helps them…

    While yes, organized activities may teach them the the value of being on time and, learning teamwork, and working hard on accomplishment, it somewhat closes the door on creative thinking, which is a key element to critical thinking and problem solving skills. Creative play allows children to "show their true colors" and have fun on the playground with either themselves or with other children, which also ties into social skills as they learn to play nicely with others. In my belief, children should be allowed to choose if they'd like to join a organized activity, not forced. But leave time for play as…

    In my first observation I decided to go to the YMCA and look at different areas in the building. I went during 2-3pm on Saturday and 12-1pm on Sunday. On Saturday I visited the gym where I saw a plethora of kids playing basketball and a few adults playing by themselves with the occasional group of teens loitering by the courts. On Sunday, however, I visited the weightlifting room where I saw, essentially everyone lifting either with a partner or alone. Although, in the weightlifting room People’s age ranged from a teen to senior citizen.…

    “Creativity is part of every area of the curriculum and all areas of learning have the potential to be a creative experience” (Duffy, 2006, p.57). Children need plenty of opportunities for creative play and creative thinking, indoors and outdoors, in an environment that feels safe and secure so that the child feels confident to explore. Art resources should allow children to develop their creativity in all areas of development and resources should reflect a range of different cultures and social backgrounds to ensure that all children feel represented in their learning environment. The adult should ensure the early childcare environment is laid out so that materials are easily accessible to the child and allow the child freedom to explore, interact and play with their peers and play alone. Playing alone allows time for the child’s ideas to be…

    Encouragement from supporting grown-ups, for example, caregivers and teachers have a positive impact on a child’s creativity. Bruce (2011) states that, “when adults observe, support and extend children’s learning through well-planned play, they are teaching” (pg.72). This means making sure children are provided with everything they need for creative play. Providing children space to play is one of the ways adults can help promote play. This space should be a safe environment where the child feels physically and emotionally safe, which helps support their overall learning and wellbeing.…

    In free-choice time, preschoolers were also more engaged with their peers (Vitiello et al., 2012). Research tells us children who are more engaged in activities and with their peers early on do better in school when they are older. Research shows children who spend more time outdoors are more physically active and, therefore, less likely to suffer from health problems in the future (Hinkley, Crawford, Salmon, Okely, & Hesketh,…
