? B U L C L O O H C S AFTER LEARNING A NEW SKILL
Children who participate in a variety of activities are introduced to new skills and new ways of working, as well as the chance to develop new and existing skills. As children realise they are capable of doing new things, they become more confident and additional skills are always useful on future applications, should they want to go on to university or get a job.
DEVELOP INDEPENDENCE
By participating in a club, which may or may not be with their usual group of friends, children learn to thrive outside of their comfort zone and these skills are paramount to getting on in life.
GETTING OUT
If your child spends too much time in front of a TV or playing computer games, clubs can give children an opportunity to explore more varied activities, become more active and enable them to challenge themselves.
MEETING NEW PEOPLE
Joining a club will give children a comfortable place to meet new people and develop friendships with other young people with similar interests. If the club is specific to something that isn’t taught during the school day it can also widen their social groups.
KEEPS THEM OUT OF TROUBLE
If your kids are at a club, then you know exactly where they are! What could be better!
IMPROVING THEIR SELECTION PROCESSES
In addition to further education, employers and social groups also like to see well rounded applications, participating in a club will help enhance any application.
GOOD OLD FASHIONED FUN
Leaning to play an instrument, taking part in a team sport, dancing, singing or just a youth club, these are all just enjoyable things to do and the more fun you have, the better! Obviously, this isn’t the end of the list, but it gives you an idea of how good clubs are for your child! 16 |
