Breakfast Bites: "Useless" activities for kids... is there such a thing?

View descriptionShare
 

If your child told you one day they want to pick up knitting, or work as a waiter in their spare time, would you be OK with it?

A recent Straits Times article titled, "Would you let your child take up an activity that is ‘useless’?" started a debate of sorts for parents. Just to define it, what they described as useless is a hobby or activity that would do nothing for the resume, it won’t help you learn any relevant skills or get you into a school.

Do you think there is such a thing as an activity you see no use for? Does happiness and enjoyment count for something? Audrey and Ryan discuss this on Breakfast Bites.
