Last week we looked at the top 10 parenting skills. The top three, the most important, have nothing to do with your child: 1) Love and Affection 2) Stress Management 3)Relationship Skills. If you practice these skills you are able to use your soft skills. When you use your soft skills at home it models and teaches your child how to incorporate them into their life. Some soft skills are self-control, teamwork, emotional intelligence, kindness, work ethic, adaptability/flexibility and grit... Research shows learning soft skills in the home and at a young age can have important outcomes later in life: children perform well in school and in their careers, have healthy and supportive relationships, and make more money. In the meanwhile, they may experience "helper's highs" and feel better about themselves, others, and their place in this world.
