Allotting Time for Children’s Activities

Parents should ensure that their child is consistently involved in some kind of activity. It could be household chores or art or sports. Allow them so time for TV but never let it go out of the hand. Children being children will obviously love to watch TV shows for unlimited time period. Whether it’s a music channel or cartoon shows, they will just love to hang around the TV. Try to involve the kids in some kind of productive activity. But also make sure that, the child is not involved in more than two activities simultaneously. Don’t over-exert him. Keep a check on his activity and try to make poems for kids enjoyable. Don’t allow him to get the feeling that he has to carry on, no matter what’s his interest level. Children will not enjoy the activity if they are taking it as a burden. So fun element is very crucial here.

One thing is also important here and that is the fact that parents are also involved in a particular activity with the kids. Because parents are there to guide them and indulging themselves for the purpose of games and practices. Any activity is fun-filled and enjoyable only if done in small doses. But you try to prolong it and it might rob you from crucial time as a family. Do make sure to spend quality time with the child by reading him short stories. That’s when the child is happiest.
