How to Teach Your Children About Teamwork
Teamwork is everywhere around us, from how buildings are made to the coffee that you bought this morning, and plays a large part in social and educational paths. In this post,
The Tutoring Center in Torrance has a few tips to share about how you can show your child the benefits of teamwork.
Create Shared Tasks
If you have more than one child, or if your child has friends over, provide them with tasks or activities that require two or more people to complete. For example, if your sweets are just out of reach, show them how if one child can hold the small stool while the other reaches sweets, they can both enjoy the benefits of teamwork. Of course, once they figure this out, it's time to move those sweets!
Lead by Example
The next time you need adult help in the kitchen, make sure that your child is around and watching. Showing them how it's okay to ask for help, and how that help comes in the form of teamwork to reach a goal is a great lesson for your child to not only learn, but to see in action. Remember, it's the small things that you do regularly that can have the biggest impact.
Video Games
While this may seem like a strange one for an educational list, the right video games can have a great and positive learning impact on your child. Choose games that reward players for teamwork with prizes or trophies, such as completing an on-screen math puzzle or using their collective brains to solve a particularly hard part of the game. While it's not a substitute for formal
tutoring in Torrance, video games can make a great learning complement.
