Probably every parent has heard their child say at some point, "I'm bored, I don't want to do anything, and 'mom, do it yourself.'" There's nothing wrong with that, because we all get tired and want to rest sometimes. But often this becomes a constant and undesirable behavior for parents: their son or daughter doesn't come up with their own games, doesn't read books, doesn't help with simple household chores, and lies on the couch asking to watch cartoons or play video games. Adults become more and more annoyed, because their child is already capable of picking up toys from the floor, and how many times has mom asked not to stuff crumpled shirts into the closet, how many times has she shown where the dirty laundry should go, where to put the dirty dishes - it's useless. In addition, the child's academic performance suffers: they forget to do homework, lose their change of shoes and their snack, don't remember what subjects they have tomorrow in school. As a result, tension in the family grows, and quarrels become a regular part of the day. What can be done about this and how can we deal with a lazy offspring?

The child is not independent and doesn't want to do anything. Help!

Critical Thinking
It is like being a detective. It’s all about asking questions and gathering evidence to solve a problem. By encouraging children to think critically, we’re helping them become better decision-makers. We’re teaching them to consider all the possibilities before resolving an issue, and to look at a subject from different angles.
Furthermore, critical thinking helps kids become better communicators. By questioning assumptions, analyzing arguments, and considering multiple perspectives, they can effectively communicate their ideas and understand others' perspectives. This skill is crucial for success in a world where collaboration and teamwork are becoming more important than ever
As Albert Einstein said, "Education is not learning the facts, but the training of the mind to think".

Communication
With so many ways to connect and interact, 21st century kids need to learn how to communicate effectively. This means not only speaking clearly and articulately, but also listening to others and understanding their point of view. They must be able to communicate in a variety of formats, including written, verbal, and digital, which is vital both for their professional and personal life.
In today's digital world, communication skills also include the ability to communicate using technology. Kids need to learn how to use email, messaging apps, and social media appropriately and effectively. They must understand how to tailor their message to different audiences and be aware of how their words and tone can be interpreted by others online.
Teaching kids communication skills can also benefit their mental health. Studies have shown that kids who communicate effectively are less likely to experience social anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. By developing strong communication skills, kids can express themselves more confidently, build meaningful connections with others, and develop a positive self-image.
Collaboration
<img src="https://kidspace.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/blogs/the-must-have-21st-century-skills-for-kids/inner_images/collaboration-kids.jpg" alt="https://kidspace.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/blogs/the-must-have-21st-century-skills-for-kids/inner_images/collaboration-kids.jpg" />
Being a part of a team is what collaboration is. The goal is to work together, share ideas, and use each other’s strengths to achieve success. In today’s global world, kids should learn how to work effectively with people from different backgrounds and cultures, both in person and online. This involves developing strong interpersonal skills such as the ability to negotiate, compromise and resolve conflicts.
Furthermore, collaboration is essential in the workplace. Today's employers are looking for individuals who can work well in teams and contribute to collective problem-solving efforts. By teaching kids collaboration skills, we are preparing them for the workforce of the future and giving them a competitive edge.
Collaboration skills also include the ability to give and receive feedback effectively. When working in a team, it's important to provide constructive criticism and feedback that helps individuals improve and grow. Additionally, being able to receive feedback and incorporate it into one's work is an essential skill for personal and professional growth.
Creativity
<img src="https://kidspace.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/blogs/the-must-have-21st-century-skills-for-kids/inner_images/creativity.jpg" alt="https://kidspace.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/blogs/the-must-have-21st-century-skills-for-kids/inner_images/creativity.jpg" />
Creativity is a crucial skill for the 21st century, as it helps individuals to think outside the box, generate new ideas, and come up with innovative solutions to problems. In today's rapidly changing world, creativity has become increasingly important, as it enables individuals to adapt to new challenges and embrace new opportunities.
Creativity is not just limited to artists and writers. It is a skill that can be developed and nurtured in all individuals, regardless of their background or interests. Whether it's solving a complex math problem or designing a new product, creativity plays a vital role in almost every aspect of life.
Moreover, creativity is becoming more important in the workplace. As artificial intelligence and automation continue to transform industries, creativity is becoming a critical skill for employees to possess. Individuals who can think creatively and come up with new ideas are more likely to remain relevant and valuable in the job market.
Teaching kids creativity skills involves providing them with opportunities to explore, experiment, and take risks. They should be encouraged to try new things, take on new challenges, and pursue their passions. Additionally, it's essential to teach kids how to learn from failure, as creativity often involves taking risks and making mistakes

To sum up, it is imperative for 21st century children to improve the 4 Cs as these competencies are important for their academic, personal, and professional growth. Developing these skills in kids not only prepares them for a successful career, but also instills in them the values of lifelong learning and adaptability in an ever-changing world.
 
<meta charset="UTF-8" /></div>

In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing world, children need to know more than just facts and figures. They need to develop a set of skills that will help them succeed in the future. That’s where the 4Cs come in: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity

At The Garden Early Learning we believe that the first 6 years in a child’s life, is an important time where the brain rapidly develops and children are learning and mastering skills known as developmental milestones. Parents are their child’s first teacher and our teachers respect and work in partnership to nurture each child’s developmental stages. We value the importance of relationships. Positive relationships and are essential for a child to bond with an educator and to feel safe a secure. Once children have established a bond with an educator, they can then start to explore the learning environment and interact with peers. Every new experience, each moment of discovery helps to shape who they are and who they’ll become. We seek to create a community of learners, where children and adults, play, work, talk, think, invent and create together. Our learning areas inside and outside the classroom incorporate a play-based pedagogy. The learning areas are defined small spaces and attention to detail is paramount where educators offer rich provocations to encourage children’s learning and skill acquisition. Our educators intentional teach the children using a play-based approach.
