Importance Of Skill Development In Kids
The early years of a kid’s life like clay is shaped by how you mold it. One of the times to build a strong foundation in a kid’s life is right from their childhood by helping them to enhance their skill development that will make them successful in life later. Meeting specific milestones in all five domains of development (Cognitive, Physical, Social, Emotional, and Language) helps children to grow into strong and healthy adults. Skills taught at an early stage are beneficial as the same attitude of learning is carried further in life.
A child needs to learn more than just academically. The development of skills and talents is a form of free expression when the child is allowed to pursue what truly interests or pleases them. A child who is allowed to develop skills in their area of interest would naturally do better than a child who is coerced into learning or practicing a field that they are not interested in.
Few Essential Life Skills To Equip Child With The Real World-
1. Time Management Skill– Becoming better at managing time & scheduling their work accordingly will kids become effective, more confident & organized. As they have projects, assignments, homework to complete on time it’s very essential to teach them time management. Due to lack of this skill, they will waste time watching TV or scrolling through mobile phones & will panic at the last moment while submitting their work. This will create chaos & affect the kids’ self-esteem.
2. Decision Making Skills- Nowadays, it’s very essential to have the ability to make quick & responsible decisions in a person’s life. The best decision can be made when the kids will understand the logic, situation, analyze the problem & think realistic. When kids improve their decision-making skills it will increase their value in life, community, family, etc. Due to lack of this skill kids will have negative consequences in their lives.
3. Communication Skills- Communication is the fundamental character of a child’s development. It is the foundation of relationships and is essential for learning, play, and social interaction. Poor communication skills will lead to an impact on Heath, Education, and Career. Inculcating the right communication skills in students will help them to speak in society with confidence & eye contact.
