As they listen to everyone around them and watch what others do, their ideas and thoughts about the world are shaped by these experiences. This allows us to help them develop strong social-emotional intelligence, resilient and innovative minds, and a sense of pride that they are heard and acknowledged as the youth of our country.
Social-emotional learning is the main pillar when we talk about empowering our children and young people. With the current rate of gender-based violence and violence against children in our country, community intervention is desperately needed. We must educate our children on issues of self-respect, respect for others, self-love, kindness to others and conflict resolution. Above all else, we must instil the courage to do what is right and make the right decisions, even when no one is watching.
Schools and parents can empower children by knowing about and understanding their interests and strengths. Create opportunities with your children where they can freely explore the things that interest and excite them. This is where innovation is born, in the mastery of strength and the freedom to explore.
