Organized Activities By Janet Collins

I personally agree with the second author. Organized activities are important in child development, helping them grow into responsible, hard working adults, and having strong sense of identity and pride.

The second author states that organized activities are more than just fun, and that these activities require commitment, teaching children the value of teamwork and working hard to accomplish their goals and be on time. The second author cites adolescent health expert Janet Collins, who believes organized activities help children develop healthy attitudes towards themselves. Collins also and states that organized activities help children grow into responsible adults.

The first author believes that organized activities hinder children's

freedom of expression and their ability to act as indipendent thinkers, and that there should be a stronger focus placed on creative play. The first author states that children develop better social skills through creative play. But, as said by the second author, group activities also provide social opportunities for children to meet new people, and get positive feedback from those who share the same interests, which helps in developing healthy attitudes towards themselves.

In conclusion I believe organized activities are important in children's development into adults, and creating lasting bonds between children and their parents. Activities like sports, music lessons, or scout meatings, shouldn't be downplayed for the sake of creative play.
