Ask HN: Most Important Skills for Children?

3 points·tmaly··3 comments

In your opinion what are the most important skills for young children to develop?

How would you go about teaching these?

"Grit" - https://www.vox.com/2014/10/9/6835197/grit-kipp-noncognitive...

"Social Skills" - http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2105/AJPH.2015.3...

I'd say having a good imagination. Most other skill can be learned in adulthood, but there's nothing like having a child imagination.

Reading. One of the main things here is to read to them.

Kindness/empathy. I'm not sure how to teach it, though...
