Many parents rigorously organize their children's activities during playtime, thinking that doing so will enhance their children's cognitive development. ███ ████ ██████ ██ ██████████ ██ ██████████ █████████ █ ███████ ████████ ███ ██████ ████ ██ ███████ █ ████████ ███ ███████████ █████ █████ ██ ████ █████████ █ ████ █████ ██ ██ ████████ ██ ███████ ███ ███ ████ ███████ ████ ███ ████ ███ ██████████ ████ ███
Summarize Argument: Counter-Position
The author concludes that rigorously organizing children’s activities during playtime will not enhance the child’s cognitive abilities. This author supports this conclusion with an analogy to a novel. We wouldn’t expect a good novel to be produced by someone told exactly what the plot and characters should be. And similarly, we wouldn’t expect to produce a “creative and resourceful child” by structuring the child’s activities during playtime.
Identify and Describe Flaw
The author assumes that enhancing a child’s cognitive development requires doing things that produce a “creative and resourceful” child. This overlooks the possibility that something can enhance the child’s cognitive development even though it does not help make the child more creative or resourceful.
