Explain Why Kids Should Have Free Time For Themselves Instead Of Having A Screen

An alarming thought put forward by the writer was that it is okay for children to have a time they will not learn anything that will help them academically. The world is changing and the mindsets of children and their parents need to change with it too. Too much leisure time will be detrimental to the child’s development and may encourage procrastination. I also believe that writer did not put enough emphasis on the degree of freedom she wanted children to have. We live in troubled times and there must be some limitations to the degree of freedom the children are allowed to enjoy. She failed to mention that parents must be wary of their children getting involved in unlawful activities and the consequences of such actions.

Why kids deserve to have recess and not sit on the couch and watch tv all day when they could be outside and spend time burning enger and spending time with friends.Most kids have been on phones,tablets,tv,ipads,and why that is bad is because if kids are to spend more than,4 hours on tv they could grow up to be overweight.Also if kids watch violent shows they can show aggressive behavior.After kids show that behavior they will become addicted to tv and devices which then if you don't stop them and take it away for a while then the kids will still show that behavior.

In 'Kids and screen time: What does the research say?' Juana Summers explains the negative effect on children spending so much time in front of T.V screens. In doing so knocks down their ability to recognize emotions in accordance to the new research from the University of California Angeles. She mentioned that the study published in the journal 'Computers in human behavior' spoke about how five days without exposure to technology sixth graders were more likely to read human emotions then the children who had access to different means of technology. The difference between kids who are not regularly around technology seem to be more intuitive then those who are to wrapped up in electronic devices. Although I lean towards children without, the question really is are children really better off with, or without and what are the downfalls and benefits?

“Screen-time Is Making Kids Moody, Crazy and Lazy” is an article about how electronics affect a person’s behavior, more specifically, a child’s behavior. Dunckley states, “…interactive screen-time is more likely to cause sleep, mood, and cognitive issues, because it’s more likely to cause hyper arousal and compulsive use.” She lists six reasons how electronics alter our moods.

eople would argue against limiting screen time for younger children. However some arguments can be made for letting children watch television when they are very young. A poor mouse lost its youth for the effects of overstimulation to be proven, and such a valiant sacrifice should not go in vain. Along with the sacrifice of the mice that served under Dr. Christakis, our future citizens are having their perceptions of reality augmented even before they go to preschool or kindergarten. Combined with the attention deficit, these preconceived notions of different places can lead a school to have some serious issues. The core issue with this is that it is very difficult to moderate a child 's viewing of the television, playing of video games, or accessing of the Internet, especially because younger people have more fluid of electronic devices. The benefits of caring for a child during its infancy, instead of sticking it in front of a screen, outweigh whatever free time would be obtained by letting the child experience over stimulation.

This paper explores the research findings on how screen time can effect children and their personalities and cognitive development. I have found four credible articles on these subjects from online sources and scholarly publications. These articles discuss the results of different studies about children’s exposure to television and online content and how they have negative effects on the developing child’s brain in terms of cognitive development and personality traits.

Screen time can help younger children in many different ways, such as socially, with math, and with reading. Screen time can help younger children learn how to read and do math through shows and apps like Sesame Street, Play School, and Teach Your Monster to Read. Screen time can also help younger children by helping them socially by showing kids how to act in TV shows like Sesame Street so that they will replicate it in real life.

kids being kids! I think its great that kids are able to express themselves even if its imaginary.I have 2 girls that play at home and make up names for eachother while play and they get along well,and teaches them to be more creative with eachother and create different ideas and ways of thinking.Now on the other hand is hard because when their around other kids its hard for them because they build their own shell with eachother.I also have a Son that does outside sports and its great for him becaues hes more outgoig and it helps him to be more independent .Also,out of the house activtys are important and teaches your kids about the world and whats to look forward too.Overall

I believe parents should spend more time with their children because thirty two percent of kids feel unimportant when their parents are on their phones. more and more adults are setting bad examples for their kids. Kids need outside activities but most of them kids can’t do alone. Parents should be using their cell phones twenty five percent less than they do now.

The first reason why kids should go out is giving us freedom. According to a blog from the New York Times it stated that “A study by the university of california los angeles has found that american kids spend 90 percent of their leisure time at home often in front of a tv or playing video games…”. This quote shows that kids are always at home in front of a tv and that could be damaging their eyesight also what do they learn from being home just watching tv or playing video games. If parents could give the freedom to their kids to go out maybe they can learn something new.

In my opinion, I think that children need both orgnaized activity and creative play time. Organized activities teach the children responsiblity, while creative play teaches them that its okay to be theirselves and hvae fun.

These days today there are many activities to be considered, teams, clubs, sports and many more. In my opinion kids should be spending there time in organized activities instead of wasting there time pretending and doing things that are completely useless. Organized activities build teamworking skills that will be used throughout your whole life. Pretending and playing creatively is completely useless and has no positive affect on kids while organized activites helps with numorous things such as helping kids make freinds, and teaching them important life skill's such as make free throw's or play the guitar. When kid's start using there imagination they start getting introuble by asking themselves "i wonder if i can do this" or " i wonder if

I think it is important to provide children with free time to engage in imaginative and creative play while they are young. That should be the best times of there lifes. They should be able to have freedom and let there minds wonder off.

I believe that children should have some structure in their lives, and what individual doesn't need organized activities? Of course they need some routine in their lives, but that could start with when to brush their teeth and what time to go to sleep. Structure should not factor as much into their play time. Children need to have a certain amount of freedom, especially while they're playing. They need to be able to use their imagination to build a palace in their lives, or to fly to the moon in their spruced up rocket ship made out of the vaccum box.

Letting your children by themselves can experience how life works and hey can learn a lot of whole new stuff. Kids can learn by themselves because one day your parents aren't always gonna be there for you they can learn. Just in one condition also don't let them do whatever they want because when they grow older they will be doing things that they aren't suppose to do. When I was little, my mom would let me do whatever in certain limits. I will be wondering of by myself and learning a lot of stuff that my mom didn't show me. Until this day she still let me all by myself and learn how life works. Many people would say that
