292. Hobbies are things that a person likes to do in his spare time.Good hobbies can bring a lot of pleasure to kids and their parents.Some kids like swimming or playing sports,while others may like quieter hobbies such as reading,music,cooking,computer games or board games.Older kids might enjoy the guitar or the piano,while younger ones might enjoy playing the toy drums and singing along. Good hobbies for kids can be any type of activity that is good for their over-all growth and has been proven to help them later in life,such as self-confidence and some skills that they might need.When choosing hobbies,parents should remember not to push kids too hard,otherwise they might give up before they really try the hobbies.Also you should give your kids the right to choose hobbies by themselves.Good hobbies are something that will grow with your kids,but do not take them away from their school work.Instead,good hobbies can help to improve their homework. Also some hobbies are appropriate only for certain age groups,and can be very good for developing specific areas.For example,some musical instruments are age-specific.Older kids who can read might enjoy the guitar or the piano,while younger ones might enjoy playing the toy drums and singing along. Take my own experience as a working parent,my daughter started a new hobby in 6th grade.It has turned out to be a good thing for her self-confidence and mental ability.So trying a wide variety of hobbies,maybe one at a time,can be a good thing for everyone.
