The Vault Offering Programs For Kids Try New Things

A youth leader in Clinton is noticing our young people are afraid to try new things for fear of failure and is seeking to help them gain confidence in trial and error.

 

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, The Vault in Clinton Executive Director Tammy Wilson told Regional Radio the mini enrichment opportunities gives kids the chance to try out new things.

 

 

According to Wilson, they have come up with seven pillars to guide them as they seek to introduce their students to new things. She believes they all play an important role in the development of resiliency in their kids.

 

 

What does that look like in terms of programming? Wilson indicates they are teaching students yoga and chess. Additionally, they do things like tutoring, hangouts planned, and learning life skills.

 

 

For parents at home, Wilson encourages instead of being disappointed in your kids over their failures - ask them what they learned in that failure.
