[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I prioritize social skills/EQ and life skills[/b]. Those can go a lot further especially if you’re not destined to be an engineer/STEM type in the top 5 percent. [/quote]

How do you do this?[/quote]

Role model situations constantly and give them the words in the car on the way to things. First day of school? I model what to say and how to greet a teacher. Remind child not to leave others our or how to include a friend who is left out. If I hear kids in a carpool say something rude about another child I correct and say something positive. Sports, my husband and I will tell other kids on the team good job, great hit, etc and now the kids do it to teammates. Some kids will naturally pick up things like this and some kids need to be told or it to be modeled by their parents for them to start doing it.

My kids do basic chores daily, make bed and make table and clear table and fold laundry. I’ve read that’s the number one thing to build a child’s confidence. [/quote]
