RESPECT THEM

Respecting older people is one of the most important social standards, but showing respect to children is equally important. By treating children with respect in daily interactions, parents indirectly teach children to listen, care, love and respect people.

Listen, love, and respect your children

NOURISH THEIR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE

Parents should allow their kids to act freely and independently most of the time. They love to control things themselves and do basic daily tasks on their own, such as washing hands, dressing up and brushing their teeth.

CONTROLLED FREEDOM

Children need to be able to enjoy a certain extent of freedom to develop their skills. A good example of this is letting children do daily tasks based on their interests. However, setting limits is critical because children must also understand what should and should not be done. Any activity that hurts them or others is necessarily off-limits.

Children should be free to play within the limits set by their parents

SLOW DOWN AND GIVE THEM SOME SPACE

An adult’s schedule is always full, rushing them off their feet while it is very different for children. Parents should give children much free time and suitable space for their age so that they can grasp things at their own pace.

USE TECHNICAL TERMS WHEN TALKING TO THEM

Parents can sneak in a number of more colorful, harder-to-understand language when talking with their children at home. Use sophisticated expressions and the children will more often than not ask “What does this mean?”. This will help gradually enrich their vocabulary.

KEEP AN EYE ON THEM

Though giving children freedom and privacy, parents should spend time observing how they are doing and interacting with the world. By watching their children, parents will understand more about their needs, adapting better to their personality, provide a suitable environment and activities for them to grow up properly, and predict their reactions.

Parents should observe their children  carefully to understand them better

In a nutshell, parents should educate children from a tender age by encouraging independence and ensuring they have the freedom to discover the world in their own space and time.

Smart Kids Playground offers kids a space where they can play, learn, exchange and develop social skills.

Forget about training and warm-up routines, the most important thing is to make everything enjoyable.

The four-lane racetrack for kids

Let the kids run around at different places or somewhere they’ve never expected to visit. Instead of a regular running track, you can create an obstacle course and keep records for them to break, let them run in their pyjamas, or with a flashlight in their hands. Make Leave every run unique and memorable without repetition, and kids will always be happy and up for some activity.

CAMARADERIE

Being surrounded by friends and familiar faces is important to help children get into the habit of regular exercise. With a friend joining, they will always feel comfortable, safe, and ready to start anything. Without friends, children are far less confident and hesitate to take on new challenges.

Instruct the kids to run together as a team, giving each team a name, uniforms, a slogan, and their own identity, and let them compete. Having their own team will strengthen their sense of identity and teach them to work as a team.

One of the ways to make kids run is to let them participate in competitions

SET TARGETS

Let your children take part in running competitions and set targets for them to accomplish. Taking on a target and accomplishing it will be wonderful reinforcement that will encourage them to put in more effort and complete the tasks.

HUMBLE IN VICTORY – GRACIOUS IN DEFEAT

Let kids form a passion for running at the running competitions where they can draw basic life lessons. Winning or losing will take them through the whole palette of emotions, teaching them self-control and keeping them motivated for the next goals.

By attending running competitions, kids will learn to handle a great many emotions from both extremes

Creativity: Art helps children express themselves and become better in math or science.

Improvement in learning outcomes: Art not only develops children’s ability to create but also endows them with related skills to apply to learning processes.

Motor skills: This applies primarily to young children doing art or playing an instrument. Simple things like holding a brush and scribbling with crayons are an important element in developing a child’s fine motor skills.

Confidence: Standing on stage and singing gives children the opportunity to step outside their comfort zone. As children progress and see their improvement, their confidence will continue to grow.

Intuitive learning: Especially for young children, drawing pictures and folding paper figures help develop spatial-visual skills.

Decision-making: Art can strengthen problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Learning how to make choices and decisions at an early stage will transfer into definite advantages in adulthood.

Perseverance: Art can be challenging for children, but will teach them that hard work and perseverance will be rewarded.

Concentration: When a child is lost in drawing, singing or acting out plays, concentration is required. Certainly, concentration will be a key trait for learning as well as working in the future.

Collaboration: Many art forms like singing in bands and choirs require children to work together. Children must share responsibility and compromise to achieve common goals. Children learn that contribution to the group is inevitable for success.

Sense of responsibility: Like collaboration, children need to learn to be responsible for their contributions to the group.

Some babies are better at these skills than others. Social communication is an art and a skill that children should master while growing up, and teaching their children social and communication skills falls to the parents so that they can develop well-rounded personalities.

ENCOURAGING EYE CONTACT

When your children talk to someone, encourage them to look them in the eyes and speak up to build confidence. With toddlers, parents need to practice this every day so that they can gradually grow into the habit. Try games like a staring contest or just engage your young ones in a talk about a favorite toy or a funny story.

Children are free to have fun and interact with others.

TEACH YOUR BABY ABOUT EMOTIONS

Let your children imitate many different emotions, such as joy, anger, frustration, excitement, naughtiness, stress, tiredness, anxiety, and fear. Play a game of guessing emotions by pulling faces at each other or by using different smiley faces. This helps children distinguish emotions, express them better, and not get confused when mingling with other kids.

Later on, as children play with their friends they slowly learn more about the emotions of others, without the help of parents.

To teach young ones about emotions, it is important for parents to convey what makes them happy and sad. Therefore, when a child makes a mistake, parents should tell them directly that they are very sad.

TEACH YOUR BABY TO COMMUNICATE

Children should learn how to express themselves, interact with others, and respond to social stimulation with words or actions. Parents need to help their children to learn how to greet and answer questions appropriately. Babies may need help or guidance from parents and adults to appropriately interact with others to help overcome shyness, regulate their reactions, and express their true feelings. Parents need to let them know that they are free to talk, ask questions, and communicate their needs, desires, beliefs, and ideas.

Children learn to communicate by sharing toys with their friends.

PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUR BABY

A lonely child may have difficulties in interacting with the world. Parents should create an environment for children to have the opportunity to meet and interact with many different people. If children lack social skills, they will have difficulties in communicating, reading, and social interaction.

Children need to have fun to improve social skills.

Activities will help children improve their social skills and help them become more comfortable with different situations in life. Besides studying at school, parents should take their children to places appropriate for their age, fun zones or playgrounds with physical activities for children to socialize.

It is a place where children not only get to have physical activity but also practice social skills and many other soft skills.

Designed exclusively for children aged five and above, our Sasuke Junior was built with the knowledge that young “warriors” at this stage need games that test their advanced motor skills and require a complex combination of different skill sets, so that they can develop and learn new skills.

With the purpose of helping children exercise while bolstering their dexterity and intelligence through games, Smart Kids Playground’s Sasuke Junior area was inspired by the namesake Japanese sports entertainment programme.

Dr Amarita Basu Misra, Montessori expert, confirms that when you want your child to learn new things, you need to make an example. Being a parent is not easy, it is very difficult because you need to improve yourself when teaching a child. Here are the 16 life skills all parents should teach their children:

BASIC SELF-DEFENSE

In today’s world, safety is extremely important and developing self-defence skills not only helps children feel more independent but also more confident. Basic self-defence is necessary, regardless of gender.

FIRST AID AND IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH

Parents cannot always be with their children. First aid skills are essential for children, and parents can introduce them a first aid kit and explain its usage. Another important skill is teaching children how to take care of their health. Instead of forcing them to eat their vegetables, parents would be better off talking about the health risks of eating junk food and instilling healthy eating habits that the children can follow on their own.

SOLVING ONE’S OWN PROBLEMS

Let your children face their own problems. If they are not taught a sense of responsibility and problem-solving skills today, they will face big problems in the future. Many parents try to do everything for their children, which takes away their kids’ opportunity to try their hands at anything. Parents can let children put their clothes in their school bags, or put their bowl into the sink after each meal, and many more things.

TIME MANAGEMENT

Parents can teach children to manage their time by giving them responsibility for their own time. They can buy them an alarm clock, then give them instructions of when to wake up for school instead of waking them up. Create a schedule for the children to track their activities and hang it on the wall at the right height so that the children and parents can track together what to do and when.

DECISION-MAKING 

Education, career, and friends are three of the many important decisions a person needs to make in life. Parents can start by asking their children to make a choice: buy these clothes or those, eat this or eat that? Your child will understand the consequences and outcomes of each decision. Parents should guide their children throughout the process, helping them to consider the advantages and disadvantages before they make a final decision.

BASIC MONEY MANAGEMENT AND BUDGETING

This is one of the basic skills that kids must learn. Parents can give children pocket money once a week or every two weeks to pay for their own needs. If they want to buy something a little more expensive, ask them to save up for it. Otherwise, parents can help kids by promising that for every small amount of money they save, the parents will add contribute in kind to buy the thing the children want.

This will help children develop money management skills and understand the concept of “comparative shopping”. Parents should explain why sometimes they choose cheaper products. This can also be practized during holidays: when your children want to buy a souvenir, encourage them to choose a few items of the same type then make an informed choice.

Teaching your children about budgeting will help develop a habit of not wasting money and respecting the value of money.

LEARNING HOW TO SHOP

If possible, always take your children shopping. Show your children where to find the items, give them a basket, and ask them to pick up a few things on their own. Parents can also put their children in charge of something: they could take care of snacks, juice, and other small things. At the counter, teach your children how to pay. The most important thing is to teach your child about shopping smart.

SIMPLE COOKING

Parents should encourage children to help with the simple tasks of cooking such as picking vegetables, squeezing lemon, and pounding garlic. Children also have a blast kneading dough while parents are preparing the filling.

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Appreciating our natural environs from an early age will instill in children love for the planet. Parents can teach their children why preserving the environment is essential by making small lifestyle changes at home. Teach your children to throw rubbish in the right place or help them plant seeds and water plants.

LEARNING HOW TO INTERACT WITH EVERYONE

Parents often teach their children about “stranger danger” but this only makes them scared of new faces, even distant relatives. Instead, parents should teach them to do exactly what adults do and distinguish good strangers from bad ones and the way to interact with them (shutting down a conversation is part and parcel of this). Teach your children how to make friends, how to be friendly with people,and when and how to say no.

If parents do not teach them these things when they are young, children may not develop positive social skills.

CLEANING UP AND DOING HOUSEWORK

Start with small chores like keeping the room clean, making the bed, and making sure everything they own is in its proper place. Parents can then ask their children to put the dishes into the sink after each meal or clean the table and throw trash in the bin.

UNDERSTANDING THE RULES WHEN EATING OUT

Every child needs to know how to behave at a restaurant and how to order food. Parents should encourage their children to order food by themselves and decide what they want to eat. They can also teach them how to eat with a fork and knife, or chopsticks, depending on the dish.

USING A MAP

Parents can start by teaching their children about the roads around the house and testing them by asking to lead the way home or to school. They can teach children to read a map or use the GPS and follow the instructions.

UNDERSTAND BASIC TRAFFIC RULES

Parents can guide their children on how to use public transport, teach them how to buy bus tickets and the basics of taking the bus from home to school. This is an important skill that children will certainly need in the future and will come in handy in an emergency.

LOOKING FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF OTHERS

When your children tell you about a problem, encourage them to look at the situation from the perspective of others. Parents should strive to explain everyone’s emotional reactions every time they have a chance. Explain why someone is sad or angry. This greatly increases empathy and even problem-solving skills, not to mention helping your children make sense of those around him.

RESPOND AND ADAPT

Another important lesson for children is to be resilient. Parents cannot always be there with the solution. Empower your children to solve problems on their own so that they can be ready to face new challenges. Children must learn to be resilient to adapt to different circumstances and environments.

At the age of six or seven, children develop the foundations of their character. Life skills will enhance their positive traits. Developing life skills is important for children to have an idea of ​​what they want to do in life and remember the type of person they want to become.

Parents should focus on educating their children in ways that make them happy and excited, as action and positive reinforcement help lessons stick better so that parents will not have to worry about their children growing up.

The post Do you know the 16 life skills your baby should have? appeared first on Smart Kids Playground - Hệ thống khu vui chơi kết hợp giáo dục chất lượng hàng đầu Việt Nam.

1. According to a report by the American Academy of Pediatrics, playing is essential for development as it benefits the child’s cognitive, physical, social, and emotional growth. Playing helps children develop social skills because they will learn how to get along with others, take turns and interact. Playing helps children develop healthy emotions because they will be able to experience and express conscious and subconscious emotions while being exposed to life and all that is around them.
2. Playing is very important for children’s intellectual development. Playing helps the healthy development of the baby’s brain, nervous system and motor skills while teaching them to handle situations better. If nerves do not receive adequate stimulus on a day-to-day basis, they will weaken or disappear completely.
3. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also enshrined playing as a basic right of any child, highlighting its importance in children’s development.
4. Recognizing the benefits of healthy, intelligent games and ample playtime, public schools in the United States are steadily reducing the number of lessons, giving students more time to play. To reduce the stressful workload for children, many schools are willing to forego on some of the time spent on reading and mathematics and increase the time allotted to playing or learning learn creative arts. When they are free to play without being told what to do, children show far more focus and pay more attention – which translates into far better learning outcomes.
5. Family lifestyle greatly affects the quality of interaction between parents and children. They tend to take the wheel and call all the shots during the little time they have, believing that this would maximise the benefits of the time spent together. However, there is ample evidence that when a parent is ready to let go of the reins and let their children decide what to do and simply keep pace, the relationship between parents and children can improve far better.
6. Children learn to share, resolve conflicts, make decisions, assert themselves, and work in teams through free play. Although some children show better proficiency at certain skills than others, most children can develop great social skills by playing with other children. Even playing alone can help children gain confidence, learn to be assertive, and make decisions, among many other skills.
7. Playing allows children to identify, express, and learn about emotions. Children often use the “imitation game” to describe what they see in life. For example, what parents look like, what experiences the child has at school, or what friendship is can all be translated into games. The cavalcade of experiences that is daily life for a growing mind can evoke a plethora of emotions. Children will become more aware of their own feelings and those of others, thereby managing emotions by expressing them through playing.
8. Children process their life experiences through free play. They do not see the world through the eyes of an adult and playing is an effective tool to better understand social situations by placing themselves in others’ shoes.
9. Parents can help children solve problems by playing with them using toys and games. The difficulties children may experience are: emotional problems, diffuse developmental disorders, speech problems, mental retardation, parental divorce, change of environment, abuse, abandonment , diagnosis of mental health, adoption, chronic illness, difficulties in social inclusion, hyperactivity, disability, learning difficulties, exposure to violence, difficulty in adjusting behaviors, deafness or hard of hearing. Parents can use many ways to solve these problems by using specific toys and specific types of interaction.
10. Parents can help children solve problems by playing with them using toys and games. Children may often struggle to cope with difficult experiences such as a change of environment, parental divorce, or abandonment which can negatively affect their personal development, leading to emotional problems, learning difficulties, hyperactivity, and the development of antisocial behavioral patterns (anything from aloofness to a violent streak). Parents can help their children work through their issues by engaging them in nurturing, supportive play.
11. Parents can improve their relationship with their children by learning to play with them in certain ways, using certain toys. When parents spend time with their children and focus on being with them(without rushing or trying to micromanage the game), their relationship will improve significantly. Playtime does not have to last for hours, a few minutes can already do wonders if it is done daily.

Thus, instead of making children play by the rules of adults, it is important to let them play freely because playing has an enormous role in the comprehensive development of children. Smart Kids Playground is confident to accompany parents and children on this journey by offering free consultation from pediatric specialists to parents in need of directions on how to play with their children.
