Pros of CCAs
1. Improved time management and other important soft skills
As students juggle their time between their CCA and studies, they learn how to prioritize tasks and plan their time better. These are essential skills that will prove useful for them when they get older.
2. Rise in self-esteem
Self-esteem has been scientifically proven to be positively correlated to performance. As a student spends more time at their CCA, they will start seeing themselves improve, and therefore become more confident of themselves.
3. Gives children a different perspective on life
Through CCAs, children will have the chance to try out different things and discover hidden talents through that process. They also get to widen their perspective of the world, and develop more mature views.
4. Provides networking opportunities
CCAs are one of the best conversation topics for students, because they are such a big part of every students' lives. Students will have many things to share and discuss about themselves, and make friends through sharing these experiences. These friends could prove useful in the future, when your child is finding new job opportunities next time.
5. Allows children to understand the value of commitment
CCAs are compulsory for children, but with good reason. When students are forced to stick with their CCA, they see themselves improving in the long-term, and they begin to appreciate the long-term effects of commitment.
6. Allows children to grow into more well-rounded people
With a more active school life, your child will be able to stand out amongst their peers when applying to secondary, tertiary or post-tertiary education. It also allows employees to better understand your child through their portfolio.
7. Stress-relief
With puberty, teenagers will often struggle a lot with their emotions. On top of these strong feelings, they have to juggle with schoolwork. CCA can be a good avenue for students to relax and enjoy their time in school.
Although CCAs are great, they also expose your children to risks of getting injured and sick.
