Not Only Cost, Consider 2 Things Before Choosing Additional Lessons for Children

Dream - The challenges for children in the future are certainly very big. This makes us as parents sometimes obsessed with "equipping" children with many skills and abilities by enrolling them in many lessons.

As we know, there is no school that can fully meet the academic and non-academic needs of children. Sometimes parents are confused in choosing the type of tutoring.

To avoid making mistakes, the opinion of Saskhya Aulia Prima, a family psychologist, may be taken into consideration. According to him, the first thing is to know the main values of the family. "How we want to raise our children, our own values as parents. It could be religion or other values, and the social values that we have. Also, how the world is developing. Understanding what challenges may arise in the future, so that we know what kind of character our child needs to have," said Saskhya.

According to Saskhya, it is important to reconsider the goals and upbringing and values embraced within the family. This will greatly determine parents' decision in choosing the education that their child will pursue, not only during school hours but also outside of school.

The second consideration, which is also very important, is to understand the character of the child. This character includes their preferences, talents, personal tendencies, as well as the motivation they have. Including their demeanor.

"Sometimes as parents, we do know him every day, like how his temperament is, maybe his way of learning, maybe the things he enjoys, but there are often hidden things that do need us to discuss with experts, for example, psychologists, to know his thinking ability," said Saskhya. By fully understanding the child, parents also become more aware of his weaknesses and strengths. Analysis of the child's learning style, talents, and interests can be known through consultations and psychological tests conducted by psychologists."

If both of these things have been considered, if you want to register your child for a specific activity, do not force them immediately. Also listen to the child's opinion, get used to having a two-way discussion to find a middle ground.

Especially when children are already attending elementary school (SD) where they can already express their likes and dislikes. In this way, additional lessons are taken based on mutual decisions.

This is so that they can carry out activities or lessons happily, not because of coercion. Because if a child does something under coercion, it can have a negative impact on their growth and development, instead of improving their abilities. Source: IG @saskhya.
