6 Life Skills To Teach Young Kids Before Age 10

Your young child may be   more capable than you think.  You will be surprised when you support and give them the needed opportunities. Here are six life skills your child needs to know before  the age of  ten.

Preparing a simple meal

Give your child an opportunity to make meals and do your best to stay calm when the flour spills and the eggshells fly.

Wrapping a gift

Your child already loves giving presents, and wrapping them makes it even more satisfying. Kindergartners and older kids can complete additional steps with your help, like removing the price tag, finding the correct size box, and wrapping paper around the gift to ensure it fits before cutting it.

Treating a wound

To help your child not freak out when they see blood, do your best to avoid having a big reaction yourself. Giving them a first aid game plan will also help distract them from the pain and come in handy when you’re not around

Writing a letter

Letter writing is a lost art, but it doesn’t have to be.  Older children can pen their own letters and address envelopes. You can also take the opportunity to teach them the five parts of a letter: date, greeting, body, closing, and signature.

Doing the laundry

You can begin laundry lessons when kids are around 6. If you have a top-loading washer, keep a step stool nearby. Walk them through the process—how to measure and add the detergent, choose the settings and others and it is a life skill that will help your child to incline to cleanneness.

Using the web wisely

With kids spending more time on screens than ever before, it’s essential to reinforce a few rules to help them safely navigate the digital world.

Ensure your child only chats with people they know in real life and doesn’t give out personal information such as their birthday, home address, or phone number.
