Teamwork is when a group of people work together to accomplish a common goal. Teamwork skills are needed in order to be successful in all aspects of our lives. In order to excel at teamwork, we must get along well with others, value other people’s strengths, confidently share our ideas, and listen well to others. When we are a positive member of a team, we know that “two heads are better than one” and that we can accomplish more together than we can alone. Below you will find resources you can use at home to help teach this important skill to your child.
