Tips to Make your Child a Leader

-

Some parents complain about children. They claim that children are not motivated, not interested in studies, don’t spend sufficient time doing homework etc.

Other parents are proud that their children are shining. They want to make them do even better.

What parents often fail to realise, is that their own parents may have said the same about them too! Education is evolving as generation­s pass. The methodolog­y used for one generation, may not be effective for another.

If you want your child to shine as a leader, read on!

1.CHILDREN CAN SOLVE PROBLEMS

The thinking patterns of a child are different to those of an adult. They are more inclined to suggest innovative solutions. For parents and teachers who struggle to persuade children to study, learner autonomy may be the solution.

Give students ownership of their studies. Ask them what they think they should do to improve. Empower them to make a timetable and manage time. They may surprise you!

2. ENCOURAGE THEM TO USE THEIR PASSIONS FOR GOOD

Guiding children to optimise their passions and creativity to share positive messages or bring attention to issues they care about.

Equip them with opportunit­ies and resources to identify what their passions are.

3. ENJOY LEARNING EXPERIENCE

As children are caught up in the rat rate of the competitiv­e school environmen­t, focusing heavily on exams, give them opportunit­ies to bring out their unique talents and skills, enjoy their learning experience and shine as leaders.
