If we give it a thought, it’s not difficult to engage your child in tech activities. These
days a child’s first pal is mobile, he is keener to explore the realms of mobile
technology than any other toy you might offer him. Similarly, as he grows older his
grasp of technology is much more than we can fathom. Hence it’s easy to indulge him
in technology. However, to make him serious for technology is a different ballgame
altogether.

STEM skills are in great demand today and they will remain so in the days to come. We
have to ensure that the coming generation is fully equipped to deal with the hurricane
of change awaiting them in the near future.

Here are a few ways in which you can trigger your child’s love for tech:

Indulge your child with STEM Toys: Gone are the days when parents bought dolls or
cars for their child to play. These days market is flooded with STEM toys for all ages.
They play a dual role by giving your child a new toy to play with and learn something
new and worthwhile at the same time.

Let him explore: Kids learn by exploring and we should let them discover the hidden
gems of the latest technology. Become their student and try to learn from them. This
gives them confidence in their abilities and also pushes them to learn more about the
subject.

Share awesome technology invention stories: There are so many wonderful stories
to share with your child. Stories of successful technologies, stories of people who are
behind that success. This inspires them to achieve something or form an affiliation
towards one such role model. His curious mind would want to learn and understand
the latest technology and its trends.

Enrol your child in a Technology Course: This is the best way to ensure that your
child does not lag behind his peers and is ready to face the future with gusto. These
courses offer a basic understanding of robotics, programming, IOT, Artificial
Intelligence etc.

Talk about the power of Technology: Exponential technologies are the way forward
and it’s always good to talk about the power of technology and its impact on our day-
to-day life. Technology advancement also means that it can solve many of our real

world problems. This helps a child understand the importance of technology and how
he can help bring a positive change to the world around him.

Join a Tech Summer Camp: Summers are the time to try something new and if that
something new is learning how to code or construct a robot than nothing like it! These
summer camps have a life-long impact on children and learning newest in technology
will help him throughout life.

Lay Emphasis on Computer Science Classes: When we were young computers was
never given much weightage in school. In fact, it was considered a poor cousin of other
important courses. But things have changed now and computers have taken over
everything else. Hence you should emphasise on a computer science class and if
possible enrol your child in extra classes for this subject.

Technology is at the forefront of everything we do. It has taken over our lives and
promises to keep delving into it in the times to come. Working knowledge of tech is
important for all but for a child who has yet to step into adulthood learning basics of
technology takes on a significant turn. His grip on the subject should be such that he
can face the future with aplomb and confidence.
