Teamwork is so much more than āplaying nice.ā
At KidStrong we use team-based challenges to develop critical skills like problem solving, communication and empathy. Kids who learn to work together are learning how to live a happy, socially connected life. š š
Hereās what research shows teamwork helps develop in kids:
š§ Executive function: Competitions like the shuttle run team obstacle courses require attention, planning and problem-solvingāall of which are tied to academic success, too.*
š£ Communication: Kids practice taking turns, talking through ideas and listening, which can boost interpersonal confidence.**
š¤ Emotional regulation & empathy: Teamwork isnāt always easy. But managing frustration, reading social cues and supporting others are how kids learn emotional resilience.***
At KidStrong weāre making developmental skills training FUN!
Join us in celebrating this milestone with all our KidStrong kidsāthe leaders, listeners and problem-solvers of tomorrow! š š„³
