A Smart Parent’s Guide to making their kids Future-ready!

The number one concern of every parent is how to ensure a successful career for their child in the future. Although it may sound like something that depends on the kids themselves, parents also have a huge role to play.

The way they handle things at home, the way they treat their kid or the school they pick — all these things influence a kid’s future.

Different experiences influence kids in different ways. So, we must ensure that their life is filled with rich and positive learning experiences for them to become successful and well-rounded individuals in the future.

Let’s look at five important ways in which you can make your kid future-ready:

1. Make use of everyday situations to learn.

Every life event is an opportunity for kids to learn. Bath time, laundry, cooking, gardening and many such household chores are all excellent learning opportunities. Visiting different places like the grocery store, mall, zoo, hospital or even watching movies offer many more life lessons.

For instance, one could teach scientific concepts while cooking or teach maths while sorting clothes. Involving the child in planning a party could build soft skills. Academic concepts learnt through real-world examples stay with the child for life.

2. Set a good example.

Kids are excellent impersonators. Everything you do is picked up by them. If they see you reading, they’ll get curious about reading and if they see you using a mobile phone all the time, they will do the same.

They become adept at reading faces and non-verbal sentiments and learn to mimic you. Your actions and reactions teach them manners and values. How you treat others and respond to problems shapes their attitudes.

How you treat your child affects their self-esteem and confidence and makes them who they are.

3. Adopt an activity-based learning.

Kids are kids ultimately. They like to play, get their hands dirty, and have fun. When kids realize learning is no play, they don’t welcome it. That’s not good, is it?

So, adopt an experiential and experimental learning technique where the kid can have both fun and education. This also takes a lot of pressure off the parents as they don’t have to nag the kids to study anymore. Kids will look forward to it on their own.

4. Develop soft skills.

When you go into the real world, soft skills like communication, creativity, decision-making and problem-solving weigh way more than school grades. Because the competition in the real world is no joke.

Leadership Skills like the above will set your kid apart from the crowd and push them towards a successful career. In fact, skills like these are the first priority for employers in the 21st century.

5. Sense of achievement.

There’s nothing like a good compliment or reward to boost a child’s sense of self-worth. It brings a tremendous sense of victory to the kids and gives them a sense of achievement. This builds positive pride and makes them want to achieve even more.

They develop a goal-oriented attitude and learn to focus their skills in construction ways. So, as a parent, make sure to appreciate you kid for every little success and teach them to not get discouraged by small failures.

Show them that every set-back is simply a learning opportunity and can only make them stronger and wiser.

So, you see that true education is not just academic but holistic, drawing from life itself. Make sure you choose the right education partner for your child to help you in this journey.
