Why is Coding for kids so popular these days?
Coding is easy programming for future engineers!
Coding introduces your child to the foundational principles of programming languages.
It is easy, creative, technical-learning for kids in fun-filled capsules!
And online coding classes are easy to hook your little ones to a skill-based learning from the comfort of their home.
But here’s the question:
Does your child enjoy technical-learning?
If you are a parent concerned about developing your child’s cognitive skills through mind-games, then here are a few questions you must ask yourself:
Is she/he worried over the pressure to perform?
Is your child losing focus and lagging behind?
Is there a better technique to exercise the little brains and sharpen their minds?
Well, here’s something you must know.
SKILL-BUILDING V/S CHARACTER BUILDING
Coding has a specific goal – to raise a generation of programmers to address the future need.
But the algorithms could change, within a blink of an eye. And by the time your child masters the techniques, newer languages would come. The canvas of computation could entirely be upturned by the time your child grows up!
What would remain relevant and consistent is how your child takes on the world, whether opportunities pop up or not, whether technology evolves or not.
It is the attitude that matters; to win the world and outlive circumstances.
And that’s what chess does to every child:
Make her and him capable of manoeuvring through life’s complex battlefields.
Ingrain in them an attitude of learning, patience and perseverance.
Chess teaches your child not just to succeed, or glorify the triumphs but to taste failures and learn from them.
Chess teaches to contain one’s self, one’s failures and keep persevering.
WHAT MAKES CHESS DIFFERENT FROM CODING?
Both Chess and Coding are Brain-games. One focuses on cognitive skills and the other on programming skills.
The foundation for Coding is programming that is based on syntax and logic. There’s a fixed goal for every assignment. Kids learn to write a program to meet the goal.
Chess has a broader canvas. The goals keep changing and the child learns to come up with complex strategies to meet those changes. The wider spectrum of chess relates more to real-life problem-solving where conditions and goals constantly change.
