When youngsters are crammed with schoolwork and sports, it may seem pointless to enroll them in after-school activities. Despite this, a great number of after-school programs are springing up, with the majority of them being fully booked. This demonstrates that after-school activities are in high demand.

The lack of parental supervision is the primary reason for the increase in after-school programs. Many children are seen to spend approximately 20-25 hours each week unsupervised and alone at home. “An idle mind is a devil’s factory,” as the adage goes. Children who are left alone with too much leisure time invariably become involved with the wrong crowd. Drug misuse, alcoholism, tobacco usage, and criminal activity all come knocking on their doors sooner or later. Parents enroll their children in a variety of after-school programs in order to keep them active and productive. In this approach, the children are free to engage in a supervised activity.

The hours after school, between 3 and 4 p.m., are regarded to be the most dangerous for the crime. Children require protection at such a time. Bringing the kids under one roof and encouraging them to participate in a group activity is enough to keep them safe. It also keeps the kids from becoming bored.

Obesity is an increasing concern in the United States. It has been observed that an increasing number of children are becoming couch potatoes. Many of them unwind on the sofa after school with packages of chips, cool drinks, or chocolates while watching television. Overweight children under the age of 19 account for 30% of all children under the age of 19, with 15% of these being obese. An after-school program guarantees that the child is kept busy and shakes off his drowsiness. This also aids in reducing the child’s infatuation with television and video games.

Individuals’ feeling of social duty grows as a result of after-school activities that foster social awareness. These kind of programs have been shown to not only keep youngsters out of trouble, but also to help them grow into responsible citizens. To that extent, they are important components of a child’s personality.

Parents nowadays want their children to achieve in both academics and extracurricular activities. This could be a result of the parent’s unfulfilled ambition to succeed, which dates back to his own childhood. Whatever the cause, today’s parents urge their children to join in numerous programs and develop different aspects of their personalities. Children, too, appear to like studying a variety of things at the same time and receive enjoyment from it.
