Kids today have a lot of structured learnings embedded in their daily schedules..This has largely to do with more opportunities and resources available in our present day set- ups..Whilst this seems to be great going for the kids and their folks, well, in reality, the children feel very saddled with tons of stuff going on..their free time to daydream, idle away time, get bored , do nothing has been capped tremendously . In my understanding of this situation, I feel this needs to be measured and analysed. Kids have immense capacity for growth and development provided they have free time on hand! They learn to dabble with stuff lying around, create and recreate and put the many objects to different use, find out ways and means to engage themselves and on and all, learn in an interesting and exploratory manner..so let’s give them imagination and in turn, they will give us many pleasant surprises!!
