I also think it is very important that there is a good balance of adult-led and child-led activities as both play a very big part in children’s learning. Adult-led activities can enhance children’s learning further as many questions may be asked in order to challenge the children but during child-led play the children are able to learn at their own…
CHILDHOOD PLAY SUMMARY Child’s favorite age was 8 years old. That was the time when all his best friends were enrolled at Wonder Years, a daycare his father owns. RP only played games that his friends enjoyed playing like 4 square, kickball, 500, and sometimes soccer while at daycare. He enjoyed playing these games with friends because he had many of them.…

In my opinion, kids are unhealthy, need to be active, and kids are overweight. Therefore, the solution to this problem is to have longer recess time. As you probably already know, recess is a chance to get exercise and receive Vitamin D from the sun. If students don’t get exercise, they won’t be healthy.…

What do you want to do? Now, translate this situation to a parent and having tons of choices to make with your children.

There are numerous benefits of working with children as a group. Working in a group enables children to learn from their peers, learning from and with one another when set a task. They learn to simplify and bring together their ideas and thoughts to arrive at a solution to problems. They learn to listen and respect other opinions and ideas and begin to learn that there may be more than one solution and begin to realised their solution may not always be the best option. Working in a group also helps children to develop their language skills, as they have to make themselves understood, and problem solve, which helps with their higher order thinking skills.…
When children get to a certain age, they start to understand more. At this point, it's the parent's job to teach them the right from the wrong. Physical punishment is the most common way some parents educate children, for many reasons.

How can anyone know if they really want to pursue an activity if they have invested no time? I agree that too much expectation on any child is hazardous. On the other hand, within limitations, a child needs to know that there are certain requirements for being involved in some…

Imagine a high school athlete, head spinning from tests and quizzes and homework grades, mind swimming with due dates and deadlines, trying not only to balance the hardships high school offers but also juggling his passion of football. Imagine after all his hard work, one of his grades slipped and now he is forced to cut his sport. Do students really deserve this kind of pressure? That is why the no pass, no play rule is a ridiculous rule to follow, since not only does this add extra stress to an average person's head, this rule also completely ignores the fact that students who have learning disabilities and use sports as an escape from their struggles are stripped away of their passion. Sports also has many benefits that not even school can…
Children have few responsibilities compared to adults because they do not have to take care of themselves. Children’s lives are usually carefree since everything is done for them. Whether it’s being fed, changed, or bathed, during childhood, the child is very dependent upon his or her parents. Children are not aware of the outside world because they have yet to fully mature. This leaves all the burdens to adults who are managing their careers as well as their own kids.…
The way that I was raised and the way my friend grew up could not be more different. Our family structure growing up was different and it translates to the way we now raise our kids.

I began to work at an early age, not because my mother forced me to, but because I wanted to help my mother financially in any way I could.…
