Choosing the right Extracurricular Activity for the Child:

Step 1:

Understand the Child:

Observe the child, see his/her activities. It is very easy to find what Extra Curricular activity they like depending on what they do. As children of the same age group will get together and start playing a game or do an activity. This often makes us understand it easily.



Step 2:

Forming a List of Activities:

One of the best way to understand which activity would be suitable for a child is to ask the child directly of what they will be interested in. They might have themselves come to a conclusion. If they don’t know, then make a checklist of 10 Activities which the child might show interest in.



Step 3:

Bring down the numbers:

Make sure that the child tries each Activity without fail. Keep in mind that the child must try the each activity for few days to understand & feel it. Don’t let the child make decisions in hassle. Motivate the child when he/she tries an activity.



Step 4:

Find the right group:

Once the child has chosen the activity, it becomes very essential that he/she fits in a group that would automatically help the child go places. Make sure the school which he/she joins facilitates his/her growth of the activity. As it is important that the child is able to focus on academics also.



Step 5:

Motivate:

Once everything is done. Any child with even a mild motivation will feel extremely resilient when he/she faces difficult situations on the go. As they are already doing what they love, so the passion is already there to shine and be awesome in it.



Note:

Make sure to always remember that the child does not select her/his Extra Curricular activity depending on your wishes. The choice must be purely of the child. Here is an awesome discussion worth sharing
