12 skills that will not be taught at school

1. Ability to ask questions

The constant "why", "why" and "how" is the natural state of children. They understand that everything in this world happens for a reason, that there is a cause and effect. As they grow up, this trait, which drives parents crazy when their child is four years old, disappears somewhere.

If the child knows that he will get either an excuse or a rude answer to his question, and sometimes a bad assessment, because he "listened badly", then he stops asking. And that's bad. To gain new knowledge, you need to ask questions. And the right questions can sometimes be half the answer.

Teach your children not to be afraid to ask questions. They have every right to do so. And do not forget that helping to find answers to them is not only the teacher's job, but also yours.

2. Problem solving skills

A person who knows how to break complex tasks into simple ones and then solve them can do almost any job.

Do not rush to help at the first cry of a child. Of course, it is much easier and faster to solve the problem for him and continue to do his own business than to sit and explain every action. But this way the child will get used to the fact that either parents or someone else will be able to solve any problem for him. And it doesn't go away with age.

3. Ability to finish what you started

Any action you take can be a small project. The preparation of a report, the development of technical specifications, the preparation of illustrations — all these are things that need not only to start, but also to finish.

Explain to the child that if he has taken on something, he must complete it. Let him observe your work. Over time, the child will begin to create his own projects.

4. Search for the business of life

If you ask the students of the graduating classes what they want to do, you will get very sad answers. Most of them go to study because their parents said so and decided so. Very rarely does a teenager understand what he really likes, and not what is fashionable, prestigious or profitable now.

Education imposed by parents, or whatever it is, if only higher, is usually wasted along with the money and time invested in it.

If a child likes to do something, he will be able to turn any non-prestigious occupation into a really worthwhile thing. Not to mention self-realization and a sense of harmony with yourself and the outside world.

5. Compassion

If you don't teach your child compassion, you will grow up to be an egoist, cruel and completely self-centered. Such a person will not be able to build a family or find friends. No one will want to help him.

It is very important to give the child an understanding that sometimes giving gifts is much more pleasant than receiving. And if you help other people selflessly, you can get a lot more in return.

Without understanding that we ourselves become happier by making others happy, a person will not be able to live a full life.

We ourselves feel that everything we do is a drop in the ocean. But the ocean will be smaller without this drop.

6. Tolerance

We are all different, everyone has their own priorities and values. You will not understand another person if you cannot see the world through his eyes.

Your child will not be able to interact with people normally if he falls into a stupor at the sight of a person of a different race, sexual orientation, religion, social status. He will not be able to find a common language with the outside world and will remain a complex and closed person with stupid prejudices.

It is necessary to make it clear to the child that it is normal to be different. In order to interact, we must learn to understand each other.

7. The ability to enjoy solitude

From birth, the child is surrounded by the care and attention of parents. When mom and dad are not around, he begins to feel sad and bored. The child does not understand how you can be happy alone with yourself. For fun, he always needs company — friends and family. If the child does not find it, he may become addicted to other things that do not allow him to be bored and feel lonely (shopping, food addiction, Internet addiction).

The child must learn to be alone with himself, play, find interesting things to do, reflect and at the same time feel happy.

At least occasionally arrange evenings when the child is on his own. So everyone in the family will have more personal time.

8. Independence

If you are independent, you can make decisions based solely on your thoughts and reasons. No one will be able to tell you what to do or forbid something. You can understand it yourself and choose the right solution.

Let the child insist on his own, make independent decisions and learn from his mistakes. Only a free person can be happy.

9. Ability to adapt to changes

The world has never been static. And now the changes are happening very quickly. The ability to adapt to them, to see at least one step ahead can be a key skill.

When choosing an education, you cannot be 100% sure that by the time you graduate from university, your profession will not be outdated. You need to be able to be flexible, keep your finger on the pulse, not be afraid of changes and be ready for them. And it is also important to study, read a lot and not be afraid to start something new at any age.

10. Ability to find the necessary information and filter it

At school, many people have problems with this. But highlighting the main thing among the huge flow of information is a very important skill.

11. Objective assessment of knowledge

You also need to be able to evaluate the acquired knowledge. You should teach your child to ask the right questions and look for answers, even if they are already known.

12. Getting rid of the herd feeling

At a certain age, a child has a natural desire to be like someone else. But over time, he matures, and it passes. But, unfortunately, not at all. Doing something just because everyone does it is very stupid.

It's terrible to constantly look back at someone. So you don't live your own life, but the life of the collective. Yes, certain social norms need to be observed, but completely adjusting your life to the rhythm of the crowd is stupid.
