Social intelligence and problem solving

Social intelligence and problem solving

Children need to develop their social skills to become successful in communication and collaboration. Problem-solving supports them in this.

At the age of 7 to 9, children learn how to interact with peers and adults. By engaging them in games and activities focused on collective problem-solving, we help them develop empathy and the ability to see things from different perspectives. Collaborative problem-solving not only strengthens their relationships but also shows them how important it is to work as a team. This creates an environment where children can grow and help each other.
