Steemit Engagement Challenge / S16/W4 - "Children Vs Extracurricular Activities "

Hi guys!

Welcome to my blog. We have at different times been involved in extracurricular activities, and this does not limit persons who get involved. It might be adults or kids, as the case may be. It is seemingly supposed to be part of our lives.

How can extracurricular activities help physical and mental growth?

Extracurricular activities may be indoor or outdoor, as the case may be. While most outdoor activities help in building physical and muscular growth, indoor help in maintaining healthy mental growth. Though there are still some indoor activities that help improve our physical growth, too.

When we engage in some of these outdoor activities, we may find ourselves exercising and sweating, which also improves our general body health. No one can underestimate the importance of exercise to the body.

It physically builds us and as well mentally strengthens us. When we are physically fit, it also means our mental health is certain to a great extent. There are tasks and games we indulge that help improve our mental capacity.

Some of these outdoor and indoor extracurricular activities include swimming, footfall, tabletennis, jogging, video games, puzzles, cycling, etc.

Do today's children like extracurricular activities, or are they forced to participate by their parents

Oh wow! Definitely, yes. In fact, I feel children love extracurricular activities more thannus the adults. Only what you need to do is give them the opportunity to have access to them. And they will have it to their fullest until you come calling.

When I visited my elder brother and saw my nephews, I don't need to be told how much these children love extracurricular activities. They will have to remind you that they haven't been taken to the mall where they will enter the "mary go round" and other playing tools there.

Is extracurricular activity necessary for children

I think it is necessary for children to participate in extracurricular activities. It builds them mentally and physically, too. It allows them to free up their fears and little worries of daddy and mummy at home.

Imagine when they are viewing carton and the attemtiin given. This can be channelled to creative puzzles that will allow them to indulge in problem solving. For me, it should be a routine.

Which are the best extracurricular activities for today's children?

In as much as there are many extracurricular activities, those ones that are task driven and creatively indulging should be priorotized. Some of the mild activities those that may be transcid into skills are also ideal.
