Question

Play influences mental development of a child' Justify the statement with the help of two examples.

Answer 1

Hey fellow,

Research shows that physical activity is as important for the development of a child as metal activity. Parents must encourage the child to indulge into physical activity along with studying.  

It keeps the child physically healthy and efficient. A child  with a sound body will have a sound mind and will produce better results. There must be balance between the both.

Examples;

1. Running makes a child active and faster. It helps his mental growth as well.

2. Other physical activities such as playing soccer it cricket help them grow mentally also because such games require strategy and presence of mind, so in turn they are growing mentally too.

I hope the answer helped. Thanks
