One of the key elements in enhancing your kid’s life skills abilities is finding the right balance between pointing out things, articulating and explaining on one hand and maintaining the flow of things on the other.
Imagine that you and your kid are having your first spring walk in a field. Beautiful flowers bloom, fruits budding on the trees and insects are buzzing everywhere. A magnificent butterfly hovers above and you, with the sheer desire to enrich your kids explain about the life cycle of butterflies, their nesting and breeding habits and their contribution to the ecological balance… you’ve ruined the raw experience of just experiencing the beautiful butterfly in a lush-sun-washed field.
Helping your kid acquire life skills goes sometimes, hand in hand, with saying nothing. Some may consider it a life skill of itself.
