Few considerations when sending the kids to hobby class

Everyone has hobbies, like readings, drawing, playing tennis, traveling, so do adults or children.  Having said that, some hobbies  require skill learning, such as playing piano and musical instruments, or swimming.

And, the children might like to learn or build up the healthy hobbies during primary school stage, but what are the pros and cons for sending the children to learn some skills or master something?

Pros:

  1. Good to master some skill when young. As we all know, it is always good to learn ballet or piano when the kid is at young age rather the older,  and learn how to swim is good, so the children able to survive when in the deep water.

 

Cons:

  1. Tight of schedule. The children in my country would stay back at school until 3p.m due to some extra class held in the school for enhancing their knowledge or preparation of Level 6 examination.

 

There might be some exception for lower level students such as Level 1 to Level 3, however not all the schools apply this. My daughter is the luck one which extra class only compulsory for student Level 4 and above.

 

Image some students might have extra tuition class after the school every day, after 3 p.m.  until 9.30p.m in the night time.

 

I observed some students has no time for a proper lunch, their parent prepare them Bento and let them to eat while fetching them to the extra tuition class. Can you imagine how busy are the children nowadays?

 

What if they are participating or joining a hobby class? They might be even busier than before

 

  1. Extra burden to the parent. Each hobby class could cost up to USD30 to USD50 per month. If the kid is learning 2 or 3 skills or hobby classes, the parent have to allocate such budget for this purpose. This could cause a financial burden to the lower income group.

 

Therefore, there are some considerations when sending the children to the hobby class which always made the parent headache.

    • Hobbies are important. My children had no T.V growing up and that left time for them to develop their talents. One became an artist and a musician and the other can really sing. I never heard they were bored and they always had energy for their hobbies. We also did ice-skating which was fun. The secret was always to follow the child's interest and never impose something on them that they were not willing to practice at. That is how I ended up having to have piano lessons. The kids hated them, but I had paid and I think both the teacher and I were glad when that money was used up! I still maintain not having a T.V was the best decision I ever made although of course, being older, we also avoided the intrusion of the Internet till the kids were quite old as it was not really in use.

    • While our daughter was growing up, she asked for a guitar, so we bought her one. She studied guitar through a book she bought and she can already play it while she sings.

      Then, she wants a tennis table and played table tennis with her father. After a while,she became busy with studies. The playing of table tennis stopped and the table tennis was kept. The table tennis is now nowhere to be found.

      Though her guitar is still at her bed. She didn't even play with it when she came home for a brief vacation because she is into watching Korea novela instead on her laptop.

      But at least, whatever she would like to try, we give it to her.
