With the increasingly diversity of our world, more and more people tend to study some skills to show they have adapted to society. And some people even claim that younger children should be required to study art and music in addition to science and history, which is usually considered as a mandatory course during school time. I, however, don’t think it is a wise choice.

Forcing children to study the thing they did not like will have a terrible effect on their physical and mental health. Since not all children like studying art and music, especially if they have no talent in the art field. Take myself as an example, my parents wanted me to learn saxophone when I was a child. However, I was not enjoyed listening to saxophone music at all, not even to mention studying that. So, as you can imagine, the process was tough, and I was resisted to play it on every single class. In addition it affected my daily school study, since I had to spend my leisure time playing the saxophone.  So,  it will negatively affect children’s growth if the process of studying art is mandated.

Although it is not a wise recommendation to required children to learn art in their early time, it still will be conducive to themselves if they are interested in learning art. Take Langlang as an example, his father found that his son had a talent in playing piano in Langlang’s childhood. So Langlang’s father decided to keep his son practicing piano every single day, and they even give up the chance to receive regular education. Because both Langlang and his farther are ambitious and confident of Langlang will finally become a famous artist and will be recognized by the whole world. So it is better for children’s success if they are found talented in art.
