Too much of school
As working parents, we certainly have stretched hours’ way beyond school hours. Me and my wife once had long conversations on what should we all do together with the kid’s funko pop development and social skills. Well, we finally struck gold – an academic after school program. Won’t that be just grand? Children are learning interesting things while parents are happily minting green bucks!
And thus, we went ahead and enrolled our kids directly into another class after school. The brochure claimed that they will be ‘using fun activities and innovative teaching techniques to fill the space inside our child’s understanding’. I suppose Sid thought his teacher would record the homework and that he were to copy it but to his surprise this failed to happen.
He hated the classes. Mostly, he was bored to tears or drifting off to sleep. After a lot of hours in school who’d wish to spend the whole afternoon using the same books? But, being a child, one had little choice in these matters. Specially when we parents were cleverly telling kids that mommy’s salary can help get us that spanking new TV or that video game.
Lose some, win some!
Then, 1 day, Sid wanted to rock the proverbial boat. He decided he had an adequate amount of studying and refused to venture to the after school program.
That’s when we started to smell something stale. Soon after that, We tried to put him in the better program (o, yes, another educational one). This is bigger, brighter and somehow more fulfilling. He had some interesting games, as well as a TABLET too. Sid got the opportunity to make a move about the table. He somehow managed to blaze through his homework, a lot of which would have to be accomplished by him. Then it was time to get fun. He had a bit of everything. Brain Teasers, speech, games and of course painting. Those hours we spent splashing color on pages and laughing at silly jokes were truly the highlight of an otherwise boring day. Ironically, He began getting excited about after school program. We as working parents have this huge responsibility to convince our kids why these activity programs are essential for these people, education toys and brain teasers might look boring to get started on however they will sharpen your brains and those activities will mold you to become great individual in the future. Stats prove kids with working parents had better chance to survive the world and were leaders in every field they exceled.
These activities is likely to make them who they are in the foreseeable future. Parents, who don’t send their kids to this very activity program, don’t be worried, you will be able to obtain these activity fun toys @ Shazam Toys and you will continue to have them do it at your home.
At the end of the time, our kids have to tough competition all parts around the globe, we should provide every one of them the tools to put together them just for this challenging world!!! Happy Parenting!
