3. When selecting extra-curricular
activities for a child, a large portion
of parents are limited by money and
time and are therefore faced with
the decision of selecting only one to
two activities each year. These
decisions need careful consideration
to ensure a child not only gets the
opportunity to do what they enjoy
but also get to experience activities
that will help broaden their
knowledge and skills in areas that
will help them in the future.
4. It is not uncommon for parents to think
drama classes are a chance for
extroverted children to perform on
stage in costume in hope that one day
they will become an actor or actress.
Although they are appropriate for
creative children, this general thought
is misguided as it misses the mark on
what drama is really about and what
sort of children can benefits from
participating in classes. This view
often leads parent's to ignore drama
classes altogether as an option for
their child.
5. Great drama classes offer a
variety of drama based and
speaking based activities. Classes
are fun and can help a child
strengthen communication skills,
boost confidence in public
speaking, speak more
persuasively, increase ability to
adapt and improvise, build self
esteem, overcome shyness, learn
leadership skills, build awareness
of social skills, become more
assertive, understand people and
make friends.
