Are Kids Losing Creative Expression to Academic Pressure? How to Balance the Two?
A child's imagination is always vivid and over the top; it's one of the many things that come naturally to children. This imagination leads to strong creative skills; they can express themselves through coloring games for kids, crafts, songs, and dances. With education, they learn to apply themselves practically and their minds are conditioned to follow social protocol. Early learning teaches them the alphabet, numbers, colors, animals, shapes, parts of the body, and more. Later on, they learn academic subjects like math, science, geography, and history, among others. And to prepare them for the real world, they are introduced to in-depth learning of academic subjects from the lower grades itself. This is great to ensure that they excel academically, but the downside is that their creativity and imagination begin to take a backseat. With school, extra coaching classes, homework, and school projects do they have time to enjoy creative activities? You may think that creativity for kids is not essential and that if you engage them in some games and activities over the weekend, it's going to be enough of a balance. And that would be alright but not ideal. Let's look at some of the simple and small ways in which you can strike a balance between the two to ensure holistic growth.

According to researchers at King's College London, the negative effects of bullying can be seen after the age of 40 in a person who has been the victim of such behavior. Although the results of the study were published in 2014, they remain valid today.

Course of Life
Poetry belongs to the most exalted types of art. A poem always reflects the state of the soul of its author and opens to the reader all his or her internal worries that cannot be expressed even to the closest people. The poem may give a significant message without describing any events, facts or data by means of symbols only. As the state of mind and the way of thinking change during the person’s life, so the poems of a single author differ from one another. Moreover, the author often presents diverse thoughts speaking about the same recurring thing. This paper which was created by one of the scholarship essay writers seeks to show the reflection of the changes in author’s view of a human’s life based on the poems The Road Not Taken and On a Tree Fallen Across the Road by Robert Frost comparing and contrasting them.
