The Best Summer Ever: How to Help Your Kid Explore New Interests and Skills

Summer is here and you want your kid to have the best time ever. But you also want them to learn something new, develop new skills, and discover new passions. How can you do both? By helping your kid branch out and try new things this summer!

Branching out means exploring new interests, hobbies and skills that your kid may not have tried before. It can help your kid grow their curiosity, creativity, confidence and self-esteem. It can also help your kid find out what they love to do and what they want to be when they grow up.

But how can you help your kid branch out this summer? Here are some tips to get you started:

  • Encourage curiosity and creativity
    • Ask your kid what they are curious about or what they want to learn more about
    • Help them find resources, books, videos, or podcasts that can spark their interest
    • Encourage them to experiment with different materials, tools, or methods
    • Praise their efforts and celebrate their achievements
  • Provide opportunities and choices
    • Look for local or online programs, camps, clubs, or classes that offer activities that match your kid’s interests or goals
    • Let your kid choose what they want to do and how they want to do it
    • Give them some freedom and flexibility in planning their schedule and managing their time
    • Support them in setting realistic and attainable goals and tracking their progress
  • Connect with others
    • Find out if some other kids or adults share your kid’s interests or hobbies
    • Encourage your kid to join a community, group, or network that can offer support, feedback, or mentorship
    • Help your kid find role models or mentors who can inspire them or teach them new skills
    • Encourage your kid to collaborate with others on projects or challenges that can enhance their learning and social skills
  • Have fun and enjoy the process
    • Remember that branching out is not about being perfect or successful at everything
    • Help your kid find joy and satisfaction in trying new things and overcoming challenges
    • Remind them that mistakes are part of the learning process and that they can learn from them
    • Celebrate their efforts and achievements, no matter how big or small
