A bright future? Boost young people’s skills!
24 de July, 2020
Flexibility, purpose, collaboration, emotion and sharing. These are some of the disruptive characteristics that mark the generation of new leaders. Yes, “times change, wills change”, but one thing is certain, the je ne sais quoi of the Millennial and Z generations is due to more than just a change in customs…
The truth is that these are the most educated generations ever and, it seems, it’s all thanks to the Boomers, who have always been committed to investing in and diversifying their children’s education! This is the trend. So invest in increasing young people’s skills so that they can realize their full potential in the future! So that you can make the most of the tools available to educate your youngsters at home, we’ll tell you all about the importance of differentiated education in personality development.
- Invest in curricular skills
Extracurricular activities are key to increasing young people’s skills! Yes, school is essential for children’s learning, but there are many things that are not part of the school curriculum and that are really important for children’s development, such as music! Numerous studies prove that learning an instrument or simply having contact with music boosts logical and abstract reasoning, memory and cognitive, motor and emotional development! - Young people’s skills are also cultural
Educated young people are worldly children! Did you know that a simple change of environment has immense benefits for children’s brains? Trips, outings, visits to museums – all these activities have an impact on the well-being, happiness and cognitive development of youngsters! That’s right, getting to know new places, cultures and objects not only reduces stress levels and makes learning easier, it also shapes the way they learn and interpret the world, strengthening emotional relationships and fostering tolerance and appreciation of diversity! All skills for young people that will be highly valued in the future. Read, read and read some more! There is no greater stimulus for imagination and interpretation than a book! This is a difficult habit to maintain, so it must be ingrained from an early age. The famous bedtime story has never made more sense! Discussing the narrative and changing the story are great exercises after reading, which will make all the difference in developing characteristics that are increasingly coveted today! - Develop social skills
Physical exercise! Did you know that physical exercise not only prevents physical health problems, but also promotes social and cognitive development? Well, there’s a reason Physical Education is a compulsory subject in every school year and it seems to be linked to significant improvements in students’ academic performance! Why not get the kids involved in some kind of sport? Soccer, dance, swimming, the options are endless and all full of benefits in the short, medium and long term!
What about the game?? When it comes to emotional and cognitive development, playing alone or with peers is essential! When they play, children develop numerous skills that will make them more competent young people and adults. Here are some examples:
- When youngsters venture out to play new games, they improve their self-awareness! Running, falling, unbalancing, all these things contribute to a better understanding of the body and its limits!
- By playing together, children learn to negotiate with each other to resolve differences. We all know how important it is to find compromises and compromise in adult life! Developing this skill in young people is fundamental for adults
- Even games have rules, so in an activity as fun and light-hearted as playing, children learn to respect their limits and those of others!
- Have you ever been angry at losing a game? Well, when they play together, the younger ones go through the same thing, which makes them gain emotional skills and mechanisms for adapting to circumstances they consider adverse! There’s no better remedy for learning to deal with frustration than play!
