OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO WHEN YOUR CHILD SEEMS TO BE A GOOD FIT FOR SCIENCE-BASED SKILLS
In the last post, we shared the signs a child shows that they're a good fit for science-based skills: curiosity, problem-solving, and persistence.
And then, we posted that 1 thing parents can do to manage that very curious child that always asks questions is to get them an encyclopedic book.
This is the last post on science-based skills.
Here are 4 other things you as a parent can do to help your child develop this skill.
1. Register them for courses
As a parent, you can register them for programs or courses such as programming, robotics, etc. Now, just before you register, you should ensure 1 thing about the course: that it is a "how-to" course. Meaning that the course is such that the kids would "build stuff" as early as possible.
2. Get them toys
What if your kids are interested in skills that involve building or designing? You can get them scientific toys. Searches on Google, Amazon, Mastermind Toys, and ToysR us will bring back amazing results. Please get them toys in the areas that they're already curious about.
3. Get them games
Also, you can either get them scientific games or give them access to a device that they can play online via a gaming web app. This may involve registration and paying a subscription fee. As with toys, do ensure the games are in a field they're already curious about.
4. Let them watch movies or curate playlists for them on YouTube
For older children, say from 11 years old, you can get science-fiction movies for them. If you feel movies in the areas they are curious about are limited, you can go on YouTube and search for videos there (documentaries, movies, etc.) and combine these videos as a playlist. This way, all of them can be in a place and they can watch it serially.
We hope you found this helpful.
