As Ronald Reagan once said, “We don’t expect children to discover the principles of calculus on their own, but some would offer no guidance when it comes to ethics, morality, and values.”

The future of any nation relies heavily on the upbringing, education, and health of its children. While it’s well-known that children spend most of their time in school or at tuition classes learning academics, character development cannot be confined to the classroom.

Character qualities are shaped at multiple levels through observation, personal experiences, and the combined influences of family, school, community, and the child’s own choices and temperament.

Ultimately, it all comes down to what and how they learn during their formative years. In addition to academic knowledge, children must also gain essential life skills and values. Life skills encompass social skills, health and hygiene, building relationships, emotional regulation, organization, financial literacy, and other practical abilities necessary for becoming confident, independent, and responsible adults.

Meanwhile, values refer to the beliefs that are important to a person, family, community, or even a broader society.Life skills and values are not only interconnected, but they work together to form the foundation for holistic development. To help achieve this balance, we run a variety of child development programs focused on nurturing both these critical areas.
