As we all know, games play a very important role in the growth of children. Children should grow along with playing games; for, they can not only acquire knowledge playing games, but also train their abilities to get along with others.
However, most children are faced with completely different situation. Most parents fear that games will prevent children from increasing new knowledge and
the children will fail in the future examinations. So, instead of letting the children themselves find and learn naturally from their surroundings,
force their children to take part in various kinds of classes, learning English, playing the piano or practising drawing, etc.
, some parents put away the children’s toys which are very useful in developing children’s imagination and practical abilities.
is a piece of good advice to those parents:
you want to expect your child to be able to accomplish something, you must first of all develop his ability to adapt
the new surroundings. That kind of education can lead to nothing but a failure in the children’s growth.
