I believe parents should plan their children's leisure time to some extent, but not completely. Children often don't know how to manage their time, so parents can help them choose healthy and educational activities such as sports, reading, or creative hobbies. This can support their development and keep them away from harmful or bad habits. On the other hand, it's also important for children to have the freedom to choose whatever they enjoy. If parents plan everything, children may become dependent and won't learn how to make decisions on their own. Allowing them some free time can help them become more independent and discover their personal interests.
