In All Work No Play Entin, spoke about the problems of how kids are anxious and depressed because they have no free time to play. He also said talks about the way they feel and why they need more free time to play.
This article stated some facts about this problem. One fact that that I found and stood out to me was that compared to "1981, children in 1997 spent less time in play and had less free time". There was also another fact that stood out to me was that "lack of play affects emotional development, leading to the rise of anxiety, depression, and problems of attention and self control."
I think that it is good that children spend more time studying and working than playing because education is a very special and a important part in a child life. However, I don't feel that children will be depressed or anxious because children's know that their whole life don't depends on just free play because they know that they have to go to school and get their education.
I really connected to this article because it reminded me of when I was a little girl the reason I said that is because when I was a little girl I was always playing games like hands games , going outside and playing with my friends , playing ropes but I always knew that It will come to a time when I will have to stop and get serious with my school work, but I do wish that free plays don't affect nor mess with their education.
As a parent, what would you do? Focus on education always, or give your kids the opportunity to play freely without your immediate supervision? 90
