How should children spend their time?
Education has always played an essential role in people`s lives as
in most cases it determines the intellectual and professional
development of a person. One of the chief questions today is
whether children should be encouraged to begin their formal
education at an early age or rather wait until they are seven or
eight years old to start school.
Comparing both of the alternatives, I agree with the former
assumption. Some people believe that as childhood is one of the
most important stages in one`s life it should be fully enjoyed.
They point out to the fact that the pressure of today`s world is too
great to impose it to children when they are that young. Indeed,
playing with friends is a thing that every child needs in order to
grow up healthy and sociable. Games provide a great chance for
children to explore the world around them and learn how to deal
with difficult situations. Most of the time, when a child plays
he/she talks and interacts with his/her peers, which is very helpful
for building communicational skills.
However, we live today at a time when the world is constantly
changing and people are required to keep in pace with new
standards. In the Information Age it is getting more and more
difficult even for people who are well educated to withstand the
great competition. Parents are now sending their children to
school at a very early age in order to prepare them for the
challenges of the present. Nowadays it is no longer enough to
study hard to succeed. It also requires that one start as early as
possible.
Even though children`s starting their formal education early may
be considered a

want to provide their children with a good start in life this choice
is worth it.
