INTRODUCTION
Good morning my fellow steemians, I am @tigerix and I'm so glad to be part of this contest.
I will start by saying that Children are always so smart curious and full of potentials. Adults have the responsibility of helping them disvover this potentials. So in anything they do both studying and playing, they will always need guidance from the adults, so the adults should always be there for them.

Playing is a very essential part of childhood
Childhood, should be more of getting familiar with your environment, getting familiar with the world at large. So playing is more important for children in their childhood.
Playing develops the mind of children because while playing, they will learn new ideas, new skills, new ideas and even learn new things they can't learn in books.
Children who play regularly will improve their emotional intelligence and are less likely to experience depression.

Overall, playing develops the physical and mental wellbeing of children which will help them when studying.

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

Yes, today's children are lagging behind in studies and sports.
Today's children even forget to eat and that is because they surf the net all day. Stay indoors and are always busy with thier phones and laptops forgetting the other aspects of life. This is bad for the physical and mental development of the children.

It is advicable that parents and guardians should make sure that children have a balanced educational and social life.

Is online education useful to your children?

Online education is useful for the children, more useful if it is used as a back up after the children are back from school.
Going to school will help them interact with their peers and learn how the society works.
Online education is also useful because it has an easy access, anytime and anywhere they can decide to learn few things they possibly could not perfectly understand in the classroom or probably learn new things.

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

Online education has both positive and negative effects on children.
On the position angle, online education helps to expand the children's mental ability because they are exposed to wide range of materials together with how it is convenient and flexible for children, especially those with special needs.

On the negative side, online education increases the time children spend in front of the screen, which can result in sleep problems.
It also causes social isolation since the children will not be interacting with their peers which is not good for their social life.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, playing is a very essential part of childhood and it should not be neglected. On the other hand, online education is very useful for children and it also has its positive and negative effects on the physical and mental health of children.

Thank you

I invite @josepha @waterjoe and @ridwant to also participate in this contest.
