It is a common belief that parents should invest more time in helping children with schoolwork.
However, there is a more persuasive argument that playing sports with children is more important
because doing so can build a bond between parents and children.
On the one hand, when parents provide help with schoolwork, it encourages children to develop an
interest in studying. Specifically, by assisting their children with any problems they have with their
work, parents make their children’s tasks seem less difficult. This can result in greater interest in
classes and lead to better grades in the long run. For example, research has shown that children
whose parents help them solve math problems get better grades than those who do their work on
their own. Assisting them with their schoolwork makes children more enthusiastic about studying,
thereby providing a basis for their academic success.
Nevertheless, playing sports is a better way for parents to connect with their children. It fosters open
communication by making children feel more comfortable about sharing their thoughts with their

parents. The experience of cooperation and bonding, which is a part of every sport, removes any
feelings of nervousness children may have in the presence of their parents. In fact, a recent study
revealed that children express their opinions more when their parents create a relaxed environment
by playing sports with them. Topics that children may consider too embarrassing or difficult to discuss
under normal circumstances are brought up more easily while playing sports. The result is that
parents and children build closer relationships.
To sum up, while it is apparent that helping with schoolwork is one way parents can support their
children, it is undeniable that playing sports together is more important.
