How can parents help their child choose a hobby?

Every parent wants the best for their kids. They want their kids to achieve milestones in their life. The happiness of seeing your child attain new heights in their life reflects in the eyes of their parents.

Parents have to step forward to help their kids in identifying their interest and guide them so that it might turn out to be in their benefit. Not only parents, school administration should initiate it as a necessary step. Some of the Best schools in Bhubaneshwar have taken initiatives in which they’re counselling parents to help them understand the child’s psychology. This is very important today as it is essential to provide a positive environment for the child to grow.

Every child is special and different. It’s important to understand the child’s nature, interests, likes-dislikes, passion and enthusiasm towards any activity. There might be a chance that your child would be good in studies but not in sports and vice versa. Understand your child well by spending time with them, playing with them, engaging in healthy talks, throw them some puzzles to solve, surprise gifts, try to find the reason which makes them angry or scared, try to build up a friend-like relationship with them. Observe them closely while watching a movie or a match, who knows they might develop an interest by seeing them.

A child’s mind is a very agile one, you have to guide them throughout their lifespan especially during their childhood. Parents can play an important role in helping their child choose their hobby.
Best CBSE schools in Bhubaneshwar have made it compulsory for the kids to have a class of physical activity in which they could go out and play a game of their choice. There’s a popular saying, ‘all study no play, makes Jack a dull boy’. So physical activity is a very important aspect for a child’s growth. There are certain points which parents have to keep in mind while helping their kids to choose their favourite hobby:

 1. Short-term First: As mentioned earlier, a child’s mind is a very agile one, so, you need to keep in mind that while participating in a hobby if your child develops an interest in something else, don’t be amazed. So let your child continue a hobby for a short time first. Sit with him and ask if he/she’s liking it or not. Then act accordingly. Parents have to be very careful in the initial stages of parenthood.

 2. Availability: You have to give time to figure out what’s available locally or near-by. Once you get the idea of the classes that are available near you- be it skating, swimming, badminton, karate, let your child gain a taste for more than one activity, let them be exposed to a variety of opportunities (hobbies). They’ll let you know what interests them the most.

 3. Be supportive and not Push: Being a parent you should guide your child, agree but remember that you should not push yourself too much into their lives. This’ll create a sense of discomfort. Give them a proper space, you shouldn’t force choices on them.

Schools today help parents to understand the psychology of the children and guide them what actions and or strategies they should follow. Top schools in Bhubaneswar focus on the physical activities of the students equally as education and on the basis of that guide the parents. We, at ODM Public School, can assure you that we’ll help you and your child by mutually figuring out what’s the best hobby for him.
