Let me share my opinion on this topic

What is more important for children in their childhood, studying or playing?

The both are very important to children because all work without play makes a child dull. So all children doesn't like a serious environment in fact the best way you can teach a child to remember easily is to break at intervals and play with the child.

Play helps in their mental growth development as they are relax while learning, they cannot easily forget what they learning.

Studies is important as well, but it has to be done in a conducive environment, facial expressions matters, warm and empathy is essential too. Then be relax calmly and slowly help the child to learn something, when the child forgets what learned, help the child to remember what was taught.

This will help this child to be able to acquire the knowledge he/she went out to receive,
Therefore, studying and playing is important to a child as playing will help in the mental health of a child.

Are today's children lagging behind in studies and sports? If yes, explain the reason.

I will say No they are not lagging behind in studies but some are lagging behind in sports.

For studies

They even broaden their syllabus to learn more things in school now. Children at two years already know how to spell and read some words which is commendable.

They actually learn beyond their syllabus and this broaden their knowledge on whatever learn.

For sport children are really lagging behind sport rather they spent all time studying and end up not knowing or remembering what they studied. Most school in our locality don't even have a play ground for children not

Children now a days really missed sport, some schools don't even have enough space for sport at school.

More to this, some schools devote more time to studying this, keeping the child learning hours boring and tired when they are back.

Is online education useful to your children?

I will say yes, It is useful.

It is useful as it helps children learn off class rooms to learn.

For example during the pandemic, children were not left behind, they use online to learn and that makes the children catch up with their studies once the pandemic was over.

How about now?

Children use this in making research as there's no more equipped library in my country.

Recently, I have a 1 year old girl at home, I subscribed to some YouTube channel so she can watch her alphabet songs and learn from it.

How does online education effect your children's mental and physical health ?

Mentally it helps her to focus on whatever she is learning and because of subsequent learning and repetition of words, rhyme and song she is able to talk. She follow along and repeat what she hears, this has helped her to be able to talk, know some gestures and probably identify some letters of the alphabet.

Even though I do have a study session with her each day but the online learning has also helped her as well.

I do not want her to be addicted to it so I limit the hours she is exposed to online learning so she won't be addicted to mobile device.

Physically, it affects the children negatively as the eyes will be strained, the spine is also stress, so this will affect the child badly in the future.

Therefore, both playing and sport are important for children brain development.
