Today, the labor market needs not just good specialists who understand their profession, but also versatile and talented workers with useful skills for companies. What should a child be taught so that he becomes a better professional in the future?
Creativity
Organizations need those who can find a way out of any situation, and the more options a specialist can come up with to solve problems, the better. Without creatives (whatever you want to call them), many inventions would not have appeared, there would have been no breakthrough scientific discoveries and progress, so it is important to teach the child to look at things from an unusual angle and praise if he has found a non-standard way to solve a problem.
Critical thinking
With the advent of the Internet, we learn a lot of different information, sometimes not the most truthful and accurate - teach children to ask clarifying questions, use reference books and encyclopedias, so that the child makes his own conclusion on the topic. In this way, the child's thinking will become flexible, critical, and it will be more difficult to deceive him.
Ability to work in a team
It's great if your child is independent and can solve problems, do a project alone. But if he wants to work in an organization, do business, or do any other activity in the future, it is important for him to learn how to work in a team with others. Sometimes you need to be a leader, and sometimes you need to be a subordinate – in any case, you should learn to negotiate, resolve conflicts and divide tasks, being aware of your responsibility.
Communicate with others
It is important to be able to talk not only with peers, but also with older people, because in the future you need to communicate with directors, your employees or colleagues - and you need to find a common language with everyone. The child should not be afraid to ask questions and express his opinion, you need to learn to understand when and to whom you should say something, and when you need to remain silent.
Of course, a lot is taught in schools, but it is important to work with the child at home so that he becomes a versatile, interesting person without complexes and low self-esteem.
