Nowadays in the complex modern society, especially for most of metropolitan cities, surviving could be a huge task for people, not to mention the workers who have families and little kids at home. I am of the opinion that parents should spend the time with kids having fun or playing sports.

First of all, parents can develop a deep relationship with their children by spending more time playing with them rather than doing schoolwork, which gives children a lot of pressure. As we know, parents who spend less time with children are not able to build a stable relation with them. Admittedly, what children really need is happiness from time they spend with parents, so it is crucial to create a relax opportunity for both parents and kids. If parents keep on mentioning schoolwork, it will push children into pressure which causes intensive relation. For example, on of my friend Amy,  complain to me about the conflicts happened because of her parents asked her final grade of last semester during family trip. Comparing to assisting children with their schoolwork, it better to build a relationship by playing games or communicating more with kids through which makes child feels love from parents.

In addition to relation maintenance, playing sports or games have an effective impact on children’s health as well as emotion improvement. According to a research on relation between playing and kids’ ability, sports games or other physics activities have a positive impact on children’s brain development. What’s more, researchers also find that playing can enhance children’s mental health. Parents are always worry about kids’ ability development in their growing up time. However, instead of learning knowledge from classroom or by doing extra homework, kids are able to gain skills more easily through playing.

By the way of conclusion, I think that those precious time should be spent on growing up with their beloved kids.  It is a better choice to playing games or sports with them which create wonderful memories for both of them.
