Education is
probably one of the single most important aspects of your child’s life. What
this means is that we as parents invest a lot of thought and effort into
figuring out the best course of action for our children’s future. However, many
parents neglect this in the early years. They seem content in the belief that
very young kids don’t need anything more than their regular school work.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. The reality is that even while your
child is attending an early learning
centre, it is imperative for them to start picking up on other skills as
well. Let’s explore this in more detail.
To say our learning
and teaching system is flawed would be an understatement. We raise kids to
understand rote learning and expect them to grow simply through memorization
and other such devices. We barely give them a real world experience that could
potentially teach them a lot more. The result is that we have a bunch of
students graduating school every year with no idea why they have been taught what
we teach them, and no clue about how it is going to help them further on in
life. This is now being addressed in a number of ways. However, these changes
need to be implemented early on in life if they are to have any effect at all.
What this means is that even at the level of an early learning centre, you need
kids to start looking at other courses as well. This is also the reason we have
something called a kids
programming language. This programming language that has specially been
designed keeping kids in mind, aims at teaching young kids how to write code.
On the face of it, this might seem like too complex an idea for young kids to
tackle. But dive a bit deeper into this and you will realize that it’s the
perfect time for children to pick up a skill like this. Children these days are
born into technology, what this means is that they are adept at picking up new
skills and already have a keen instinct for tech related concepts. Coding helps
them fully realize this potential. What’s more, it also teaches them in a more
practical manner since kids are encouraged to actually create their own
programmes, softwares and games as a result of their learnings.
