Activities In Students Development

Most of the parents believe that if their kids
participate in any of the extracurricular
activities, they will lose interest in academics,
therefore not scoring good grades. But it is
completely wrong because the extracurricular
activities help students in improving their
academic performance along with their outlook
towards schools in general. If students

passionate about, it tends to increase their
brain function and even permit them to
concentrate and learn to handle their time.

4. Broader Social Skills
Along with self-confidence and self-esteem,
social skills are also crucial for students. The
nature of many extracurricular activities means
that your kids will be engaging with other
students in a social setting. Away from the
classroom, it is a perfect opportunity for them
to mix like-minded students in something they all
relish. This offers them an opportunity to grow
their social skills, meet with new friends, and
become more confident.

5. Develops Thinking Skills
The extracurricular activities also develop the
thinking skills in students. When the students
revel in rote learning through books only, it
gives no place for growing thinking skills.
Extracurricular activities boost analytical
thinking, particularly when they are modeled with
several challenges and have to search for proper
solutions within those conditions. The students
learn to apply their classroom learning to other
real-life situations, analyze, synthesize, and
evaluate the modeled challenges and reach proper
solutions.

extracurricular activities in a students
development. The extracurricular activities also
offer students an excellent tool through which
they get to learn some vital time management
skills. Amid the task of balancing school life
and after school activities, for instance,
students tend to start to lay the foundations for
skills which will benefit them at later stages of
their education and in the steps they will take
much later in their life.
