Some
people may say that parents spending their time on doing schoolwork with their
children is better than playing games or sports with them while others do not
think this way. If I had to choose one among two different selection given in
the question, I would say that it is much better to use their time on playing
games or sports with their children. There are a couple of reasons and examples
as follows.
To
begin with, spending a lot of time on playing with children can give them good
memory. Good memory of childhood affect on emotional development. This is
supported by a survey that was conducted by Kim&Zhang in Korea. The purpose
of the study was to determine whether the memory of childhood could affect
their characteristics. There were two group monitored. The first group was
formed of people who spent a lot of time with their parents when they were
kids. The other groups consisted of people who barely have good memories with
their family. The researchers tracked them over 15 year period. They compared
the outcomes and recorded that the former group generally have higher the ability of sympathy than the latter group. The study proves that the experience when they
were kids has great influence on forming their personality.
On
top of that, if parents devote their time to doing homework with their children,
which won't develop the self-directed learning ability so that they cannot solve
any problems on their own at each of the time when they are facing problems. As
everyone has already known, the ability that make one's own decision is very
important in today's society. I will talk about personal experience to
illustrate my opinion, I remembered when I was a university students. One of my
friends could not anything on his own because he had never done anything alone.
Every time when he encountered difficulties, his parents helped him. Reflecting
on his case, parents devote a lot of time to doing their children's works may
have negative effect on their ability.
To
sum up, it has a positive effect that parents give their children good
memories, whereas it has a negative effect that they spend their time on helping
their children's schoolwork. For these reasons, I strongly believe my choice is
better than the other. |
