Leadership Skills
Your kid may not be outspoken or ready to take the reigns and be a titan of industry, and that’s ok. Mine aren’t. There is something to be said about some qualities you can get from a person who takes charge and is a leader. One of the most important things is decision making and having a plan. No more, “I don’t know. What do you want.” bull. Kids will imitate you and your actions so let’s say it’s up to you to start making decisions and being decisive so your kids can take that trait and grow with it.
Critical Thinking.
Having your kids ask questions is very important. I know it can be difficult and frustrating answering 1 million questions every day, but it is important to realize that your kid doesn’t know what most things are just yet and you will bet the one to help them understand life.
Time Management
If your kid is like mine, they take about 3 years to get dressed and another 2 to get their outdoor stuff on. That is 5 years to just get dressed and ready for the outside world…or at least it seems that way. UGGHH!. It is beyond frustrating. A solid lesson for your kid to learn is how to allocate time for certain tasks. Teach them about punctuality and the importance of it.
