Available research shows that most of the co-curricular activities being practiced by children in schools if not properly managed pose their own challenges; since they usually come with competitive yardsticks, some children feel undue pressure to succeed. Thus, frustrations usually set in when some children feel they are judged or can’t measure up due to a perceived lack of talent to excel in activities like music, singing, etc.
Also, the physical demands of some activities like taekwondo, etc bring undue stress, injuries, and exertions on the young bodies of these children. This can sometimes take away the joy and fun of co-curricular activities and make them uncomfortable for the children.
