The article "All Work and No Play: Why Your Kids Are More Anxious, Depressed" by Esther Entin is about how kids unorganized play-time is being decreased and or stop in most places.
In the article it says "'Since bout 1955... children's free play has been continually declining, at least partly because adults have exerted ever-increasing control over children's activities. This means the children's free play is declining because adult are taking over there play. In the article is also says "children in 1997 spent less time in play and had less free time. They spent 18 percent more time at school, 145 percent more time doing school work, and 168 percent more time shopping with parents." This means that kids free time have been decreasing because adults make them go with them to go shopping. The adults make them go to school at a young age and they don't let their kids be kids.
I think that parents should stop trying to control their kids childhood. Most parents tell their kids what to play and how to play it. When I was a kid my mom would never tell me and my friends what to play or how to play it. We just use to play it and we make rules as we go along.
Will some parents stop controlling their child's childhood? Would they let their kids be to play? Will parents stop putting their kids in school at 3?

ReplyDeleteWhen you ask questions, they should be questions that you yourself would like to get answers to. The questions should not be addressed to your readers. The way you write these just makes it look like you are trying to get the post over and done with.
