Perhaps, most parents have tried to give their children a head start on education with get – smart videos and enrichment activities as early as infancy (婴儿期), but free play is often sacrificed, so the American Academy of Pediatrics says that the best medicine for busy children is an increase in traditional “playtime”.
Studies suggest that unstructured play can help children become creative, discover their own interests, develop problem – solving abilities, and relate to others socially, according to a report prepared by two academy committees for release Monday at the group’s annual meeting. On the contrary, a lack of such playing can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.
The reports think the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smart children and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.
“In the current environment, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, I believe this message is an important one,” said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report’s lead author and a pediatrician (小儿科医师) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Noted pediatrician, author, and presenter of cable TV’s “What Every Baby Knows,” DR. T. Betty Brazeltion agreed. Children with structured activities are missing the chance to dream, to make their own world work the way they want it. That to me is a very important part of childhood.
