Playing chess not only activates the children's minds but also increases mutual communication between parents and children.


This activity not only requires a high level of concentration but also has a positive impact on many aspects of the children's lives.


1. Understand that victory and defeat are commonplace.


Children have a strong competitive streak, and if they lose, they may become upset and frustrated and never want to play again.


So, when you start playing chess with your child, you can give him a bit of a break and let him taste the sweetness of winning.


With a sense of accomplishment, the child will be more motivated to play chess.


At this point, the parent can allow the child to feel the progress in difficulty and begin to face the different outcomes of losing and winning.


To win the game, the children will actively learn and continue to use their brains to calculate and plan.


Over time, the children improve their chess skills in one game after another and exercise their minds at the same time.


Moreover, children who play chess regularly are always faced with winning and losing, and more often than not, they will naturally understand that winning and losing are commonplace.


In this way, the child will not blame others for one or two failures in the future.


The ability to correctly view the winners and losers can help the child to win a good mind to face up to all kinds of difficulties and setbacks in life.


2. Cultivate the ability to analyze and solve problems


There are many kinds of chess. The more relaxing and casual ones are checkers and backgammon, while the more strategic ones are chess and Go.


When playing strategy chess, children need to think before they move, analyze the current situation, and make plans and decisions after making clear judgments.


3. Cultivate children's concentration


Chess activities are different from passionate outdoor sports in that they require the child to sit quietly and pay attention to the game.


Only when the children are quiet can they calmly and correctly judge the current game and make the most appropriate choices.


Engaging in long-term chess play can significantly enhance children's concentration abilities.


4. Cultivate children's social nature


Playing chess is an interactive activity that requires children to learn to take turns and wait.


It is also a great opportunity to exercise the child's social skills by practicing synergistic activities with others.


5. Improve children's math ability


Playing chess can activate children's brain cells and promote the development of thinking.


Furthermore, playing chess at a high level requires strong calculation and coordination skills, which can positively and actively influence your child's performance in mathematics subjects.
