Enhance Your Child's Talents Through Performing Arts

Encouraging children to engage in performing art at a tender age is very crucial in the development of the child. It enables the child to grow mentally, apart from increasing his/her employment opportunities later in life. According to the Arts Education Partnership, children who are exposed to arts in school are more skillful in reading, mathematics, and writing. This can be explained by the fact that the child is exposed to instructions used in arts that form the basis for reading and writing.

In many camps, summer camp programs have been designed to include performing arts. Some of these art activities include dance, opera, magic, music, spoken word and circus arts. These summer camp activities have numerous benefits for your kid and therefore I’d urge parents to allow their children to participate in them when they are on summer break.

The advantages of exposure to art spread from school to the locality. These children find an engagement with the society through the services they offer. For instance, volunteering to entertain the public during public events, and civic education on various issues through theater performances. Also these children may end up taking political roles in the society.

Communication skills of these children is improved through exposure and practice. Have you ever attended a music or spoken word competition and seen these kids perform? I am sure you will be surprised by the level of courage and mastery of language. All this goes on to helping them later in life when they stand to address a gathering. Thanks to the summer programs for kids which provide an ample environment for them to develop their artistic talents. The child is also able to learn some elements of nonverbal communication (body language). Through experience they are able to know the meaning of the various body movements. The summer camp programs have lessons where the children are taught these skills so that they can portray them correctly in dances or music.

According to the CDC there are about 18% of children in the adolescent stage who are obese. Involvement in physical activities such as dancing and circus can be key to helping the children stay healthy as they are able to burn the extra calories in the body. Also these activities will help reduce stress and anxiety which contribute to obesity.

Performing arts broaden the kid’s horizons in terms of creativity. The child develops a different approach to everything in life. Although during summer camp activities they are taught many things involving innovation and creativity, the child in time learns how to solve everything by himself/herself without having to consult someone. That is a mark of maturity. Is it possible to have a mature child? It is very possible. I have a conviction that maturity does not come with age but rather with the ability to solve problems without having to consult or being reminded to do so.

By working together, the children develop brilliant attributes such as accountability, dedication and teamwork. This is because many of the activities will involve collaboration, i.e. in theater where every child will have a specific role. Such children will grow up knowing the importance of collaboration and accountability to achieve success.

After looking at what your child stands to gain by developing a passion in the field of performing arts, I am convinced that you wouldn’t mind enrolling your child(ren) in the summer programs for kids this summer.
