Playing is in the mind of every child. They will only think about having fun. Of course with friends and the types of games they just want to play. It's the right way to educate them while they're still young. They should understand how important it is to have a proper education while they're still young. This will also help them to be encouraged in pursuing dreams for their futures. However, we should understand that they're just children. Enjoying their lives while at this age is a part of their growth.
We, adults, understand how hard it is to keep on studying. We know how to handle it since we can understand better compared to children. That's why letting them play is like a reward to them. Once in a while let them enjoy how fun their lives are. Let's not drown them into suppressing their own happiness. Let's not wait that even at their younger age they will feel what is the feeling of being pressured. It's not a good idea if we let them come that far. Children still have a problem to worry about but it's too much if they will declare that they are not free.
In the time of lessons or studying. Teach them and guide them. The parents are not teachers but in some ways, they can be. They have more knowledge compared to the children even though they don't have a Bachelor's course. Possibly because we are human and we are capable of learning when we grow older. If you as a parent will think your child needs to learn more. Let it study more at the house with your guidance of course. Just don't do it too much or else your child will get tired from it. If that child will get tired, for sure no matter how you teach that child it will just be a waste of time. If this time comes, let your child play and let it feel free first.
Letting your child play sometimes will be the wisest way to educate them. As a parent, you can use playtime to motivate a child. Either you can use it as a reward to make that child excited to study because at the end of it playing will be next. It's important to have a happy mind to become smart. I think it's obvious since we all experience a great mind if we have happy thoughts. Don't forget Peter Pan how he made the children fly. That's why a happy mind is an important part to learn more about studying.
If you are a parent, don't think playing is just a waste of time for a child. Think of it as a way a child will love studying. Let's not be selfish and let that child have fun. Studying 24/7 is not healthy. They might be good in school but understanding different things will be hard for them. Playing has good benefits to a child's mind.
