A certain skill is usually evaluated practically by the level of mastery and proficiency one exhibits. Imagine being able to earn large incomes from doing something you love and have passion for. It’s like having fun and earning money. The beautiful thing about most skills is that they are timeless. It’s something one can do for life and still earn money. The fact that one exhibits a skill for fun or passion and earns passive or active income by the side is what makes it special. Another fact about earning money through skills is that it’s largely independent of educational qualifications and college degrees.
PARENTS: MONEY-MAKING SKILLS YOU NEED TO WATCH OUT FOR IN YOUR TEENS
A particular skill set can be linked to a child’s daily behavioural pattern and choices.
As a parent, it is imperative to identify certain characteristics your child possesses, and link them to a particular skill. You can help nurture the skill at the early stage of your child’s growth. A parent is a child’s first and most important teacher. The process of guiding a child to discover, harness and maximize his/her potentials is a first step in skill nurturing and management. It’s an important role every parent should play in managing the outcome of their child’s future.
For example, it is said that creative writers possess specific features such as; paying attention to detail, strong vocabulary, and a passion for reading. As a parent, if you identify any of these traits try to encourage your child and infuse some creative extracurricular activities such as: painting, writing, pen art etc in his learning routine.
If your child loves playing football, running, putting on makeup, or playing chess, do not discourage him or her by picking a lawyer’s wig or dangling a doctor’s stethoscope.
