Doing an enjoyable activity with a child can develop better skills and more creativity than reading.To what extent do you agree? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your answer

Involving a child in fun activities can have a positive impact on skills and can improve the creativity in comparison to reading.  However, I believe reading is also important. In my opinion leaving the creativity to its raw allow to bring something new to the world instead following the pre-written theories.

Children’s imagination is limitless and involving them in the activities of their interest from beginning are often result in better brain development and creativity. However, reading is also important but at too early age it can be detrimental for instance an experiment conducted to draw a aeroplane on paper by the group of children’s who have not seen the aeroplane before. As a result, every kid draws a different design for the aeroplane as per their imagination later they were shown a picture of aeroplane and ask to draw again, and everyone draw the same image. Which explain that sometime reading can limit our creativity.

Engaging a child in playful and fun activities build the emotional maturity and self-confidence. Every activity involve decision making and its repercussion in one or other way and that helps developing brain and skills and build stamina to deal with the situation at random. For instance, India is producing highest number of engineers each year but still not a leader in the innovation and creativity because the students are focused only on the bookish knowledge.

With the correct time and focus on the fun activity in the area of the interest a kid can develop better skills but unfortunately our society tends toward reading then engaging in playful activity as a way of learning  and so govt should include fun activities in curriculum therefor the skills are not limited to book but also give a chance to explore the imagination and creativity.
