EDUCATION REQUIRES WHOLE LIFE BALANCE FOR CHILDREN

We often hear about adults needing to get their work-life balance right, but the same can be said for children. The world has changed. People are more aware of risks to our children - health and safety issues, environmental risks, germs, and so on - so how we treat our children has also changed. Often they are not allowed to play outside or undertake certain activities in case they injure themselves, and they live in ultra-clean environments which is now thought to have increased the propensity of food allergies in children.

Furthermore, some children are put under greater pressure from a younger age to succeed; be it as an athlete, musician, artist, intellect, or whatever else. In other cases, a child may be reared in an environment where they are deprived of the opportunity to develop social relationships or play due to things like poverty, disrupted home lives, or being given up for adoption. In some instances they have little time to just be a child and enjoy their childhood. Consequently, they may engage in less social interaction. In recent decades there has been a plethora of research that has underlined the importance of social development in children and the significance of play in that process.
