Growing Kids Holistically: 5 Areas Parents Need to Focus On! by Mei Marcie

Parents want their children to grow and thrive, but what exactly does that entail? Here are five areas I feel parents need to focus on!

• Emotional: Kids should develop their emotional intelligence (EQ) and understand, control and harness feelings. 
• Interpersonal: Relating to others, communicating (including non-verbal), negotiating and empathy are all essential life skills. 
• Intellectual: This should not be confined to just words, logic and math, but also include problem-solving. 
• Creative: This includes music, arts, dance and being creative in problem-solving. 
• Physical: Don't neglect nutrition, sleep, exercise and motor skills!
