When vacations/holidays approach, parents are naturally worried about their kids’ boredom. No parent would want their children to spend the time fighting over the smartphone or the iPad. The parents today are well informed and aware of the consequences of not letting the children to pursue physical and extracurricular activities.
Studies have revealed that the incidence of depression and anxiety amongst youth has increased by over 500%. One of the main reasons is that today we do not let our kids be like kids.
Many studies have proved that the more we focus on individual success, the less happy we are.
“By depriving children of opportunities to play on their own, away from direct adult supervision and control, we are depriving them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own lives. We may think we are protecting them, but in fact, we are diminishing their joy, diminishing their sense of self-control, preventing them from discovering and exploring the endeavours they would most love”. – Dr. Peter Gray to Washington Post.
The idea of ActiPass originated when the founders Kunal and Ritika’s daughter changed three classes in just two weeks. Their friends also shared similar experiences. It was then, this idea of 1 common pass for multiple activities clicked, and the journey of ActiPass commenced.
About ActiPass
When you want your kid to get enrolled in some holiday activity, the entire family, including the child, is in the dilemma of choosing the right activity. But then, since you have to enrol him/her anyway, you decide on any random activity for your kid and book your seat.
It happens with most of the children that after a few days they feel that this was not the activity they were looking for, and often they get bored. Maybe if the child has joined the right activity that suits his/her interest, then he/she would have enjoyed it more.
