“ALL STUDY NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DUMB BOY ” 

This is a perfect argument for those who believe that there are no healthy extracurricular activities when studying.

A student should study well, but not just concentrate on it alone, they should be active in other extracurricular activities as well for an active and enriching childhood. 

Before proceeding, let us know exactly what extracurricular activity means to 

What is an extracurricular activity?

Extracurricular activities are events that do not come under the school or college curriculum but contribute to the development of the students ‘ skills and abilities. The extracurricular activity is that practice that is not focused on degrees relevant to the professional life. Such additional activities are more useful if the children are earlier enrolled in it, based on their desires.

For example, apart from the degree courses, these activities play an important role in shaping and motivating the student’s passion and interest.

The extracurricular activities teach the practical factors of life, are self-sponsored and, therefore, one must think well before choosing anything.

There are countless options to choose from, as an extracurricular activity. If you are interested in some activity then you should not retreat.

Search for those benefits of high school extracurricular activities. Obviously, no talent ever goes to waste but by selecting an extracurricular outlet you can improve it.

Let us look at a few benefits that come with extracurricular activities 

1. Time management is the key to success:

In many people’s lives time management has always been the #1 problem. There are a couple of people who handle time like a pro, though. We take time management as a key to success, as a matter of fact.

Different successful individuals have opted for extracurricular activities that have helped them in controlling time for learning. Through extracurricular activities in the high school schedule, they not only improve the inborn talent, but also master the “how’s” and “when’s,” which relates to making things prioritised.

Time management requires the ability to just work with integrity on important things. Extracurricular activities are thus the best practices which enable high school students to manage time effectively.

2. Self-exploration with the diversity of talents:

Piano lessons, violin lessons, singing, Western-style dance, jazz dancing, cycling, ice skating, skateboarding, cheerleading, sporting activities, and so on are some of the extracurricular activities for which high schoolers choose.

If you are an observer, you must have found that there is a great diversity in these talents. The amount of choice is offering more varied choices. It offers the high schoolers the perfect platform for knowing and expressing themselves.

High school is the ground for learning before entering college. Self-discoveries will allow them to face life’s challenges.

3. Enhances the ability to fulfill commitments:

The willingness to stick to an undertaking is as critical as first making a commitment.

The corporate sectors of today need applicants who are committed to their profession and promise an excellent advancement within the business for the client. Therefore, having the ability to fulfill its commitments is essential for today’s generation.

Extracurricular involvement is the best method in high school students to improve that skill. The students devote their time to completing both the work of the school and the work of the operation. This helps them to continue running longer.

4. Personal growth and development:

Have you ever found those kids who treat their friends adorably?

How do you think someone else’s started thinking?

With time they progressively developed that attitude. However, by enrolling your child in extracurricular activities, you can accelerate the learning of that attitude.

They get a chance to participate in extracurricular activities with their peers in the school. What’s more, they learn to share and love, all at once.

5. Improves the confidence and esteem of the students:

Recent studies show that when adolescents feel good at nothing, they face a lack of confidence.

Not all students will perform well in academic work in equal measure. Likewise, making them feel like they’re capable of doing something is crucial.

Grades at academia are not the end of the world. You have to realize they’re talented. This can only be done if you enroll them in their choice of an extracurricular activity. Not only will this boost self-confidence but it will also build their esteem.

Taking on something of their choosing often provides them with the ability to develop their abilities. The aim of extracurricular activities, then, is to bring out the child’s secret unique talent.

6. Social comfort and relationships:

During high school years bullying has always been one of the major problems. Regardless of the numerous measures, it has not been eradicated from the environment by authorities.

The question though is how are you going to prepare your child against these?

Okay, there is a workaround for extracurricular activities to this. Enrolling in extracurricular activities means the children are going to have a certain community that shares similar abilities. As a result, kids will find someone to trust and talk to.

In fact, the group together can defend each other against the bullying. Extracurricular activities also play a key role in developing children’s social behaviour. They learn suitable and inappropriate behaviors which help them act according to the social norm. Indirectly, it develops children’s personality.
