💭 TASK 2 - AGREE/DISAGREE ‼️
Doing enjoyable activities with a child will be better for their overall skills development and creativity than reading.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is undeniable that the development of our youth is of utmost importance. In this sense, engaging in playful activities with them is considered to be superior than reading to achieve that goal. While the supposedly less efficient activity, that is reading, helps kids broaden their imagination skills, I tend to agree more with this statement as playing with them offers more varied life lessons.
It has always been common knowledge that we ought to promote reading among the young generation for it will inspire them to be and creative and use their creativity. In other words, today, when children are glued to their screens consuming uncensored content on the internet, it is advised to encourage them to read more, as this will not only allow them to become more literate, but also reading various fairytales and/or stories will make them improve their cognitive skills because they are constantly forced to use their imagination when following the plot of whatever they may be reading. In addition, they will be able to use their creativity when guessing what might happen next, resulting in them unlocking the parts of their brain independently. Case in point, those who develop reading habits from a young age are known to perform well in lessons and especially in competitions that involve quiz and other tasks, which require critical thinking.
However, one reason why I assume exposing them to different games and helping them explore them is a more effective tool for their development boils down to the fact that, with this approach, they can learn to depend on others. It is not a secret that there are many outdoor games, such as Football, Basketball and other traditional non-sport team based activities, teach them that when they cannot get something done, they can always rely on their partners and vice versa. Fostering a mindset that pushes them to think twice before making decisions in the future, as they will be fully aware that their actions have consequences, ergo making them less self-centered. For instance, children that have been involved in team sports or games will make better future leaders, who are more in touch with how their lead role in society can leave either a positive or negative impact.
Moreover, another important skill, problem solving, is better nurtured when children spend time with their seniors. Provided that they get to play with adults, they will be more likely to become more competitive, as adults, for better or worse, do not like losing to kids. Since the desire not concede a game is apparent in any games, activities do not even have to be that intense and parents can play chess, monopoly and other board games indoors, which will be of great help to improve children’s cognitive abilities. These simple, yet mind-boggling, games will come in handy when they grow up and begin to become a part of their community. Helping out to find solutions in their local community, coming up with ideas to preserve our nature and its resources to the generations to come and solving cases when they are faced with challenges in their workplace cannot be developed only by reading, which is a good example to illustrate why the proposed notion is indeed a better one for children.
It is said that reading is inferior to doing activities with older people as far as developing their overall skillset is concerned. It can be concluded that although one has to admit reading is a great habit, I am more inclined to think that we ought to do more than just ensuring they read books unless we want them to be lacking behind their peers when they will have to make decisions and tackle problems that life will surely throw at them in the long run.
