What's the difference between children having fun at home and taking Lego classes in educational institutions?
There is no essential difference between the educational version and the toy version. They are all produced by Lego and can be mixed and matched. Knowing this, let's discuss the difference between children playing at home and playing in institutions.

The benefits of playing at home are as follows:

1, relaxed environment

Home is the safest place in a child's heart, especially his own room. There is no competition and pressure here, children can play freely, and it is easier for children to play their creativity in a relaxed environment.

2. Free construction

Without anyone's interference, you can build whatever you want, without any restrictions.

3. More toys

The money spent on institutions every year can buy more toys.

4. Rare parent-child time

Parents can play with their children to enhance their feelings and guide their children to progress.

Although being happy at home has many advantages, it also has the following disadvantages:

1, dependent on drawings, unsustainable

Children can play Debao at will. Once they have no idea, they don't know what to spell. When you grow up, buy a suit to play with. Basically, after the toys are put together according to the drawings, they don't want to be disassembled. I don't know what else I can spell after I tear it down. Let Lego bricks change from building blocks into finished toys.

Parents have no time and can't make a clue.

Parents are tired of coping with work and housework. Do they have enough time to play with their children? Even if you have time, you may not have the corresponding knowledge to deal with children's problems, let alone use toys to teach children knowledge like Lego teachers. Most parents are completely at a loss about software packages with certain technical threshold and programming knowledge, such as WEDO and EV3.

3. The environment is closed and there is no social interaction.

It is difficult for most only children to develop their social and collaborative skills when playing at home. Children are prone to different degrees of social obstacles and cannot get along well with other children.

4, there is no system, this is random.

Compared with the perfect curriculum system in the institution, children play at home without such a system foundation. Even if parents have the time and ability to accompany and guide their children to establish a theme, if there is no system, there will be a lot of randomness and uncertainty, such as difficulty, scattered theme content, lack of relevance before and after.

5. It is difficult to participate in related activities or competitions.

Competition can exercise children, enrich life experience and test their level. Obtaining the competition certificate is a proof. However, most Lego-related competitions or activities are organized by organizations and schools, and it is often difficult for individuals to participate.

On the whole, it is definitely better for children to study in institutions, but institutions may not be suitable for every child. At the same time, we should also consider whether the child is interested. If children are not interested and don't like to play, don't force them to study. Of course, I haven't met many children who don't like to play ... In addition, with the support of limited education funds, we must consider it comprehensively. Compared with other trainings, the return rate of Lego training is uncertain. Because children have different personalities, interests and talents, Lego education is only one of the means and methods to cultivate children's ability, which may not be applicable to all children, and there is no guarantee that children will be improved.
