Whenever you are invited for an interview or writing your curriculum vitae, the first question that you are required to have a knowledge about is your soft skills. This knowledge is not found in any textbook but is groomed into a child from his first step.

Soft skills are used to indicate all the competencies that are not directly connected to a specific task; they are necessary for any position as they mainly refer to the relationships with other people involved in the organization.

There are steps to developing soft- skills:

  • Read stories to children that involve feelings.
  • Draw art, sing songs, encourage creativity.
  • Facilitate children working together.
  • Play games that involve give and take.
  •  Give children routines and tasks at home.

  •  Teach them basic and important information.
