Play is considered an important part of a child’s development. However, we live in a competitive world, and children may have limited choices unless they are academically gifted. Do you think it is important for young children to have unstructured activities like free play? Why or why not? Should children have more structured activities, or activities that will help them improve their academic skills? Why or why not?

I feel like yes children should have plenty of free play not only to ease any wiggles they may have but just to let their creativity run free and let there brain relax. A lot of activities now a days can be fun but also engaging as well to children and there learning, but it all depend son how patient parents and or teachers are willing to be.
