After-school activities have a lot of potentials.
With children becoming society’s primary concern, researchers are looking into measures to assure their safety and growth. The government has also contributed to the success of such programs. Some of the reasons why after-school programs have become so popular are as follows:
1) Preventing Juvenile Delinquency, Crime, and Violent Victimization: Between the hours of 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., approximately 10% of juvenile offenses occur. In such circumstances, children must be kept secure and out of mischief.
2) Preventing the use of alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes.
The majority of ‘latchkey’ children engage in risky activity in order to establish superiority in their tribe. Children in their pre-teens are less likely to engage in destructive behavior if they have a strong relationship with a mentor.
3) Reduces the desire to watch television: The average child watches 23 hours of television every week. When a youngster participates in an activity, he or she uses both his mental and physical abilities to overcome obstacles.
4) Enhancing academic performance
5) Improving school attendance: Having more self-confidence and a higher interest in school leads to increased attendance. A program that assists children with their homework provides them with a much-needed sense of accomplishment.
6) Improved interpersonal and behavioral skills
Children who participate in after-school activities are better at handling conflict and cooperating with authority figures.
7) Stronger ties to family and community.
