Parents should start imparting social skills
to their children when they are young. It is the age when they
learn things fast and easy. Home is the very first place of
learning so the initial social skills should begin at home and be
observed and practiced at home. It is parents’ responsibility to
take the initiative in training their children to develop social
skills. After all parents are the first people children socialize
with, aren’t they?
A child who is good with social skills is
more confident in meeting life’s demands on his own in future.
Parents should pass on these skills through appropriate
training.
What are the basic social skills that are
needed by children?
Teach your children
politeness - Politeness is best expressed as the practical
application of courteous manners or etiquette. It is the act of
showing respect for others. Being polite means showing respect and
consideration for others. It is more of a learned behavior than a
taught one. Being polite means using some basic respectful words
such as ‘thank you’, ‘sorry’, ‘excuse me’, etc. Children
should not feel ashamed or hesitant to use these words when needed.
In order to make them use these words freely to others it should be
practiced daily at home when interacting with parents and
siblings.
Train them in following table
manners – Parents should practice table manners so that
children also get used to it. One of the basic words used at the
table is ‘please’. If you use this word when you want something to
be passed around the table, your children would also automatically
use it when needed. Let your children join you in social
gatherings. They watch you and other adults following table manners
and in the process they also get trained in table manners.
Teach them to dress according to
occasions – Dressing is an important factor when you
present yourself at an occasion. While overdressing tends to draw
unnecessary attraction, underdressing also has the same effect.
That is why children should learn to dress according to occasions.
Children should be taught that people form good opinions about them
when they are well-dressed. A good dress sense raises a good
impression.
Teach your children communication
skills – Communicating well is another important social
skill. Communication is the most important vehicle for social
interactions. Children should learn to talk to others with
comfort and ease. Your communication would help them to develop
their language skills. It also leads to a special bonding between
parents and children.
Good manners and basic social skills are just
as important to success in life as doing well in academics. Parents
should not forget that it all starts at home.
