Why do Relationships Matter for Kids?
It’s not only parents' duty to teach children about relationship concepts but teachers can play a crucial role in it as well. That’s why schools in India are teaching children about relationship concepts helping them to create healthy relationships with other peers and this is necessary for the overall development of the child as alongside academics and sports children should also have knowledge about relationships.
Building warm, trusting relationships with the children in your care is one of the most important things you can do as an educator.
Research shows that close relationships formed in early childhood can positively impact children’s academic and social-emotional skills while conflictual relationships can have a detrimental impact on the child’s well-being and development.
Overall, relationship building in schools lays the foundation for a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students feel valued, motivated, and empowered to reach their full potential.
