Teamwork is so much more than âplaying nice.â
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. đ đ
Hereâs what research shows teamwork helps develop in kids:
đ§ Executive function: Competitions like the shuttle run team obstacle courses require attention, planning and problem-solvingâall of which are tied to academic success, too.*
đŁ Communication: Kids practice taking turns, talking through ideas and listening, which can boost interpersonal confidence.**
đ€ Emotional regulation & empathy: Teamwork isnât always easy. But managing frustration, reading social cues and supporting others are how kids learn emotional resilience.***
At KidStrong weâre making developmental skills training FUN!
Join us in celebrating this milestone with all our KidStrong kidsâthe leaders, listeners and problem-solvers of tomorrow! đ đ„ł
