I strongly disagree
1. Engaging in social activities helps to boost their self esteem and interact with others well.
An example from my own experience is when I was in elementary school, I was the best student yes, but to keep up my grades, I had tons of tutors for different subjects so I didn’t really go out much.. after school I go home straight for tutorials.. this affected me when I got to middle school, it was really hard to make friends and to even interact, I became very shy and a complete introvert, I also lost my self esteem.. but later I learned to interact properly by engaging in other social activities..
2. It helps to enhance their communication and listening skills..
