　　Life today can be very stressful．Children need a break from the pressures（压力） and demands of their busy schedule （日程安排）．But instead of letting children relax in front of the TV，parents should encourage them to do something else．A hobby is the perfect answer．

　　There are all kinds of different hobbies．One example is chess．It is a very enjoyable game and it helps children develop their thinking skills too．There are many other"thinking"games，such as word games．

　　Another good hobby for children is collecting something．A child can collect almost anything：key rings，stamps，comics，postcards，old coins，etc．Many of these collections can be both educational and fun．They teach children a lot and broaden their minds greatly．

　　Some hobbies can offer several benefits．For example，gardening is a useful hobby because it involves physical activity and it also teaches children about nature．

　　A hobby can be a very effective learning tool．Children may become experts in something if they really love their hobbies．Children will also learn about organizing themselves and making plans．Hobbies will also teach children a lot about responsibility．

　　There are some possible problems with hobbies，though．Children sometimes focus （关注） too much on their hobbies and forget about other things．Parents should remind their children that a hobby can be fun，but it should not get in the way of school work or other important things．As long as children understand this，their hobbies will be an enjoyable and valuable part of their lives．
