Nurturing Social Skills in Kids
Social skills determine how well we get along with others.Developing social skills in children prepares them to face challenges in life.Our kids don't have them ,we got to teach them.Social skills training is a general term for behavioral areas that promotes more positive interaction with others.We should promote in kids acceptance by the teachers , adults and peer groups.Teaching social skills must include:
Manners and positive interaction with others(approaching others in an acceptable way , mingling easily with peers.)
Appropriate classroom behaviour ( listening ,following instructions , seeking attention properly )
We should lay stress in teaching children to empathise watching the body language of others.
Thank you ,Sorry ,Please are the three magic words that can transform the personality of a child .
As children develop and mix with other children at school and in other social situations they develop a range of interpersonal skills that will become the personality in later life.Children need help in overcoming their shyness. They take time in expressing their emotions.Co-operative learning plays an important role here.We need to teach our kids to appreciate others.
Our children will be facing the world at large.Let us help our kids in maintaining good social relationships . Instill Social skills in them in the younger years itself so that they have a proper foundation that will enable the child to be a life long learner.
