Good day everyone, I hope that you all are in good health and also be in safe place.

Today I will be writing a contest organized by @hindwhale about extracurricular activities and children.

But before I start I will like to invite @jozzie90, @bossj23 and @Samuelnkenta to participate too.

How can extracurricular activities help children's physical and mental growth?

Extracurricular activities play an important role in promoting physical and mental growth in many ways, such as:

  • Physical health :- children who participate in sports, dance, and other physical activity help them to stay active and maintain good health lifestyle.
  • Extracurricular activities help children to bost their creativity and self-expression n team of music, art, creative writing or drama which help children to explore their interest and develop thier talents.
Do today's children like extracurricular activities, or are they forced to participate by their parents?

While some children really enjoyed and benefit from extracurricular activities, others may feel pressured to participate. It's important for parents to strike a balance between encouraging children to explore diverse opportunities and respecting their individual preferences and boundaries.

They are some factors that can influence children's engagement with extracurricular activities, such as:-

  1. Personal interest
  2. Peer group influence
  3. Parental Influence
  4. Autonomy and Choice
  5. Academic Expectations

And many more are the factors that influence the lifestyle of children.

Is extracurricular activity necessary for children?

Extracurricular is very necessary for every children because it provides opportunities for children to develop a wide range of skills including leadership, teamwork, communication, problem solving and time management.

Those activities are important and valuable for personal growth and future success

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

They are many extracurricular activities such as:

  • debate
  • public speaking
  • drama
  • outdoor activities like hiking, camping, gardening and more

But as for me I like sports and I will likely chose sports as one of the best extracurricular activities, so children participating in sports such as soccer, basketball and volleyball prompt
Physical fitness, discipline and teamwork.

Sports also help children to develop what we call motor skills and to also build self-confidence in anything they do.

Conclusion

Extracurricular is a key that help children to strike a balance to explore their interest, develop important skills and enjoy every bit of their childhood experience.
