Teamwork is an important skill for every child to master because it helps them interact effectively with others and use their abilities to achieve a common goal.
Working in a team allows people to discover their strengths and weaknesses and broaden their horizons as members learn to view problems from different perspectives and take into account the opinions of others.
And in the labor market, the ability to effectively collaborate with other team members is becoming increasingly in demand.
However, at school, teachers do not always focus on developing this skill. Therefore, parents have to work with their child themselves. The following "exercises" can help you with this.
Give up household chores
Of course, not from everyone – stop, for example, washing dishes and look at your child’s behavior. What will he do? Perhaps he will start washing cups and plates himself, or perhaps he will try to persuade you to return to your duties, and this is also good, because this is how his organizing skills are demonstrated.
Give a group of children a task to do together
You can gather the children together and ask them to think or even make gifts for their moms and dads for the New Year. You will notice that some of the group come up with more ideas than others, some help with the organization. There are also those children who will do everything on their own, without consulting anyone.
Discuss with your child the importance of each role in teamwork.
As an example, we can take a sports game - let it be football. Let the child think and answer what will happen if the goalkeeper is removed from the field, why a coach is needed, why it is impossible to be both a forward and a defender at the same time, etc.
Teach your child to tackle any little thing with enthusiasm
For example, a child can wash dishes not only for himself but also for other family members, turn off the light in the hallway and even wash the floor, and to ensure that he does not refuse these duties, create a motivation system. An excellent solution is to organize a joint celebration in honor of the successful acquisition of a new skill. Usually, children like such events and try not to let their parents down.
