Why Should Your Child Have a Resume?

To boost their self-esteem
To outline their capabilities
To show that your child's accomplishments go beyond their report card
To praise his or her gifts, talents, abilities
To present your child in such a way that others will want to invest in him or her
To accompany his or her college application

Choosing activities that provide your child with life skills as well as build character is a key element to their success. Documenting those activities is also a key element to their success. Why? Keeping before them a present visual reminder of their activities, accomplishments, etc., gives encouragement, pride in what they do and have done. It also allows them to see how well they have progressed over the years. In other words, you will assist your child in "behaving" their way to success.
