Because all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. Its not good for a childs development. In my opinion, kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. I think its better that parents shouldnt compare their children with other children. Its crazy and not fair. Perhaps parents should let their kids be kids. Although its normal to want successful children, its even more important to have happy children. If children are too stressed out, theyll be not interested in studying.4, give students sometime to finish the writing.
