work for children Working during childhood: such a controversial issue! There is a debate if children should work or not , and it's a triky question. Some people may think that children shouldn't work because they need to be free to spend their time both in studying and in playing, and that free time increases their creativity , their capacity to relate to other children without being arrogant or selfish . So in one time they learn many useful rules from the interaction with other children, and that's why study and play sholud be their priority . Moreover, if a child starts to work and begins to earn money, he or she could loose interest in Learning and that would be undoubtely wrong On the other hand, some people could think that in working children can gain many positive skills, such as achiving a sense of duty in order to take to an end the work that they are ment to do , understanding the real value of money and becoming more aware of the sacrifice that their parents have to do every day . From my point of view, as a mother of three sons, children shouldn't work (I mean children, not teen agers for whom work is very useful) because parents have other more appropriate methods to teach them the same things in a less potentially dangerous way
