All Work and No Play: Why your Kids Are More Anxious, Depressed By Esther Entin
The main idea of this article is that the author is trying to imply that kids are not getting nearly enough play as they used too, But also the amount of play they need to grow into the adults they can be.
Details or evidence I have from the text saying why children shouldn't be playing outside is because parents are complaining that it's getting more and more dangerous and untrustworthy these days they're saying that they feel safer keeping there children in the house. Honestly I can agree with that but if you're going to keep your children in the house at least enable them to have some free time so they can have time to relax and play after a hard day of school instead of piling them up with work at home as well as school. Another detail I have from the text is when I read is that children today don't have anywhere near as much play time as kids before them, I've brought this up because it isn't fair because that would mean children back then had more time to actually realize themselves than kids do today and if a kid can't realize him/herself then how're they going too know what they actually like instead of what someone else says they like.
In my opinion I think that kids today should get just as much freedom to play as kids back in the day because without proper play time then how will they know what they like as I stated in my details. Okay it's getting more dangerous out I'll admit that but that shouldn't stop you from letting your kid(s) play just take him/her to a safer part of town if you're that worried or better yet take him/her far from the town I just think that every kid should have time to play because I'm pretty sure you as a parent want your kid to grow up to be the best he/she can be in life but how's he/she going to do that if he/she doesn't have any time to find out what he/she likes if you're always giving him/her work to do? This is why I think it isn't fair.
I can make a connection to this because I honestly don't feel as though my nephew don't get enough actual playtime besides running around doing stuff they aren't supposed too and playing on electronics for hours at a time. Then again they get that from me because I'm constantly on my PC some times doing work but other times just playing video games I enjoy. But even when I was their age I used to play outside and run around and played basketball with my friends just like I do to this day.
This article has helped me to think more deeply on the subject because honestly I said it before and I'll say it again I feel as though children need more play time today because of play time being taken from them while they're young I feel as though that's why they grow into the hooligan they are today doing anything but what's right.
One question I have regards parents. Why don't you let your kids play? You yourself used to play all the time when you were there age give them that same opportunity.
