Vocational Skill Idea For Children(6yr Old And Above) by whodeyhere: 12:08pm On Jul 31, 2017 |
I have a 6yr old boy and I will already like to get him to learn some vocational skills in this holiday period that maybe beneficial to him in the future, I am also considering engaging him in some sport as well. Please note that this will only be on part time basis, during holiday & weekends. I'll appreciate your invaluable suggestions. Thanks |

Is his school not offering any holiday coaching in preparation for next term? To answer your question, if you can afford it, get a good computer programmer to teach him from the basics, or get a language instructor to coach him in a foreign language like French, German, Spanish and the likes. The above may not seem like vocations, but the typical nigerian vocational training centre may not be very suitable for a 6 year old. If you do find a good centre however, what are the hobbies your child has expressed, say cooking, decoration, photography, sketching and drawing, playing instruments and so on, that should guide you on what to enrol him for. Hope this helps. 1 Like |

mamadsquare: Many thanks, I like the programming idea & computer software thing, cooking & foreign language is also not a bad idea. I agree with you about the conduct of the normal traditional vocational centre(i will definitely not want my boy to go there). The whole essence for me is to give him something like a hobby/skill to hold on to probably make money from it in the future, he watches cartoon all the time and i want him to spend that time on something more productive. As for the holiday coaching, I really he has had enough of book time in school, so he can digress a little(fun) for a while. 1 Like |
