5 Lucrative Skills To Generate Income For Your Kids Beyond The Classroom

Children’s growth should include all aspects of enhancing their psycho-motor domain of learning and emotions, rather than just focusing on cognitive regions.

It is crucial to take advantage of this summer break to expose your kids to various skills that will make them valuable to themselves and the community if you’re a parent who wants to raise kids who are not just academic geniuses but also knowledgeable and skilled in other lucrative spheres of human endeavour.

EDITOR’S PICKS

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some profitable skills children can learn outside school.

1. Computer Knowledge Appreciation.

One all-encompassing knowledge and talent that your kids will need both now and in the future is computer appreciation. Today, there are a few computer-related fields that are rewarding and in high demand, like programming/coding, and graphic/web design, to name just a few. Your kids will have a competitive advantage over their peers if they study these areas of computer science.

2. Manging and analyzing business and sale transactions.

Since your children are on vacation, you may want to use this as an opportunity to teach them about your shop or business, where products are sold and money is exchanged. For instance, if you are in the business of selling items, you should teach your kids about how those sales are made and how money is made. By doing this, they will be able to quickly calculate numbers and expand their knowledge of the financial sector.

3. Craftanship skills.

In our society nowadays, talents other than schooling are quite valuable. You can teach your kids a variety of skills, including those related to barbering, tailoring, shoemaking, beading, beauty products, repairing laptops and phones, and much more. By teaching your kids these skills early on, you will only increase the likelihood that they will have a side business when they are adults.

4. Baking and catering.

Today, many people make significant incomes from the baking and catering industries. Your children will become good cooks if you teach them how to prepare and bake simple foods like cakes, sausages, and other items. Their enthusiasm for becoming professional caterers and starting their catering businesses may even be piqued by such training.

5. Learning a foreign language.

Fluency in a second language, especially one that is in great demand, will help students’ cognitive aspects of learning and provide them with a competitive edge over their peers.

Giving your kids access to a service that teaches other languages, particularly French and Spanish, can help them have a better understanding of other international communication methods and may even provide them with a future source of income.
