In the modern world, great importance is paid to the diverse development of children. Parents strive to provide their children with every opportunity for self-realization and the discovery of talents. One of the popular methods is various circles and sections. However, it’s worth thinking about: is attending clubs solely a manifestation of the child’s interests, or is it sometimes the realization of parental ambitions? Let's look at the main aspects of this issue, discuss examples, research and possible recommendations for parents. Children's clubs and sections are an excellent way to develop skills, socialize and meet new interests. However, it is important to consider that the choice of activities should be based on the desires and interests of the child himself, and not the parents. Often, parents, consciously or unconsciously, shift their dreams and ambitions onto their children, forcing them to do things that do not arouse sincere interest in the child. This behavior can lead to stress, unhappiness and lack of motivation in the child. Research shows that children who exercise based on parental choice often experience negative emotions such as anxiety, irritability and even depression. In addition, such children may suffer from a lack of free time and may not be able to independently determine their interests and hobbies. Examples of this behavior include cases where a child is enrolled in music or sports classes without taking into account his opinions and desires. In the long term, this can lead to deterioration of family relationships, loss of interest in activities, and even the development of psychological problems. It is important to understand that children must independently determine their interests and hobbies. Parents, of course, can offer their child various types of activities and help them find their path, but the choice must be made taking into account the desires of the child himself. Clubs and sections should be a source of joy and pleasure for the child, and not a tool for realizing parental ambitions. Respect for the desires and interests of the child will help to form healthy relationships in the family and provide a favorable atmosphere for his development.
