When it comes to development during childhood, parents might underestimate the importance of a child's social and emotional development. Physical, cognitive, and language development are paid more attention to than social & emotional development. Experts often find that children with better social & emotional development tend to be less aggressive, more sharing, more cooperative and learn to respect others personal space better; all of which are important interpersonal skills. Knowing how important social & emotional development is, how can we enhance it?

Children that are taught to communicate well, are sure to share their emotions verbally or nonverbally. When children communicate more efficiently they are understood better. Mutual understanding creates a safe space for children where they feel secure and can focus subconsciously on their natural development. Schools can become safe spaces when children can express and understand each other. Slowly building a vocabulary from an early age and understanding social cues & situations can guarantee this. This better equips children to express what they feel and understand what others feel.

Vocabulary teaching and enhancing games are a great way to teach children on how to express themselves. On the other hand, games themselves can be fun and challenging. Neuroscientists observe better perseverance, mood regulation and confidence amongst children who play games compared to children who don't. Trying to solve difficult problems and returning back to them builds children's perseverance, confidence and mood regulation abilities; all of which are important precursors in emotional development. Games are also valid social, emotional learning activities for preschool. Games other than those that enhance spelling, city games like Brain City, games for 9 year olds and Street Soccer from SKIDOS are a great way to develop aforementioned emotional skills.

Spelling games for kids

Slowly building a vocabulary from an early age as well as developing language skills is crucial when it comes to social & emotional development. Vocabulary and language skills empower children to communicate, which in turn enhances their social & emotional development. Spelling games are a great tool to build vocabulary and language skills. Children can learn to play kids learning games in a place of their choice, at a time they want, and at a level of challenge that builds their confidence. Spelling games for kids are a great way to learn vocabulary in a safe space. Spelling games help kids build language skills at an early age, express themselves and understand others. Games like ABC Town & kindergarten learning games made by SKIDOS are a perfect way to teach kids how to spell and learn new words. These games are great social, emotional learning activities for preschool and beyond.

Math games for kids

Math is a woeful subject for children. However, children learn math and return to practice it more when it is made fun. Learning math develops perseverance, problem solving and logical reasoning in children. Trying to solve difficult problems, sometimes failing, but returning back to them builds children's perseverance, confidence and mood regulation abilities. Children tend to be less aggressive and frustrated when they know what kind of challenges exist in their world and how they can overcome them. Games introduce children to just that. SKIDOS has also developed games apart from ABC Town (which helps with spelling), city games like Brain City and Street Soccer. Games like Brain City, Train and Smart Boats help children learn math while they play games. Children solve in game math puzzles and exercises while playing these games. Concepts like addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, geometry and many more are taught and sharpened. These games are beautifully designed, safe and kid-friendly.

Role-playing games for kids

Role-playing, fantasies, science fiction and make believe are normal and healthy interests in children. These socio-dramatic make-believe situations enhance children's imagination. Children learn social cues and how to behave in certain social situations while playing these games. Apart from spelling games for kids, SKIDOS has also developed role playing games like Doctor, Bath, Bakery and Super Store shopping mall. These games teach children about different professions by placing them in the shoes of doctors and bakers.

At the end of the day when compared to adults, children's bodies move faster than their brains. It is therefore important for adults to teach children to slow down, think, learn and observe. Games are tools which are well suited to accomplishing this. SKIDOS has developed over 40 games for children including spelling games that not only entertain children but also make learning fun. With a single SKIDOS subscription you can create up to 6 profiles on one device. There are no ads and the games are always safe and kid-friendly!
