Helping YOUR Children Do Well...

Learning Basic Skills Early Makes a Huge Difference...

For small Liberian children, learning basic skills early in life can shape their future in powerful ways. Early childhood is a period of rapid brain growth, where young minds are open, curious, and eager to explore. Teaching children simple skills such as counting, recognising letters, speaking clearly, and practicing good manners builds a strong foundation that will benefit them throughout their school years and beyond.


Basic skills also include practical habits. Showing children how to wash their hands, share toys, clean up after play, and listen carefully to instructions helps them develop self-discipline and respect for others. These small daily lessons prepare children to succeed in classrooms, at home, and in your community. When children learn early to be honest, kind, and dependable, they grow into young people who are trusted and respected.


In Liberia, many parents and caregivers face challenges with limited resources including limited reading, but teaching does not always require money or reading. Simple household objects can be used for counting, storytelling, or drawing shapes. Singing traditional songs can improve memory, rhythm, and language. Parents who spend just a little time each day perhaps encouraging reading, asking questions, or letting children help with small tasks—such as fetching water, peeling cassava, or sorting peppers—are giving valuable lessons

.

The earlier children are introduced to learning, the more confident and prepared they become. Every small skill gained is a stepping stone toward independence, opportunity, and a brighter future.


Following are some suggested children's skills...

Food Shopping...

Teaching young children how to plan and do food shopping in Liberia is a valuable life skill that helps them grow into responsible adults. Begin by involving them in meal planning. Ask what healthy meals they would like to eat during the week, and together, write a simple list of needed items. Explain the importance of balancing fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains so they understand how to make nutritious choices.


Next, show them how to create a shopping list. Emphasize organizing the list by food categories, like produce, dairy, and grains, to make shopping easier. Teach them to check what is already at home to avoid waste and save money.


When shopping, involve children by letting them help find items, compare prices, and read labels. Teach them to look at prices, and to choose fresh foods over processed options when possible. Use the opportunity to explain budgeting—set a limit and show how sticking to it requires smart decisions.


Finally, reinforce manners and patience in the kiosk, marketplace or store, and let them help with bagging or carrying items. These small steps teach responsibility, money management, and healthy eating habits—skills they can carry throughout life.

Speaking to Elders...

For young Liberian children, learning how to speak with their elders is a very important lesson. In Liberia's culture, respect for older people is highly valued, and the way you talk can show how well you were raised. When you speak with an elder, always begin politely. Say “Good morning,” “Good afternoon,” or “Good evening” before starting your conversation. Greeting first shows honor. Never rush into asking for something without first giving a greeting.


Another important point is to use respectful words. Children should practice saying “yes sir,” “yes ma’am,” or “thank you” when responding to elders. These small words may seem simple, but they carry big meaning. They tell your elders that you are humble and respectful. Always listen carefully when an elder is talking. Do not interrupt them, even if you are excited to speak. Wait for your turn and then answer slowly and clearly. Listening well is another way of showing respect.


When speaking, children should also stand or sit properly. Do not slouch, play with your phone, or laugh loudly when an elder is speaking to you. Keep eye contact, but do not stare rudely. If you are asked to do something, respond kindly and try your best to do it quickly. Obedience and kindness build trust between you and your elders.


Sometimes elders may correct you or give you advice. Do not argue or shout back. Instead, say “thank you” even if you feel you are right. Later, you can ask questions calmly if you do not understand. Elders share advice because they want you to grow well.


Always remember that the way you talk to elders teaches others how to see you. If you are polite, people will respect you and your family. Speaking with elders respectfully builds good character and makes your community stronger.
