Leadership is a quality which can be inherent or can be developed through proper training and practice. Leadership qualities are an amalgamation of many factors that facilitate children to rationalize their mindset and outlook towards life. 

Developing these skills may not assure their future but would definitely teach them their duty. They will be more empathetic towards others, which would help them in becoming better human beings in life.

Some of the inherent leadership characters that might be present in the young ones can be easily detected through your keen observation in their daily behavior pattern. Notice if your child has the enormous urge to find solutions when faced with daily life challenges or does he lay back and avoids them. The urge to find the solution and finding different creative ways to solve the problems depicts the leadership character of your child. He might have a sturdy sense of reasoning and critically examine the situation before him. 
 
Leadership character can also be located if your child displays strong bonds with friends, and gets along well with the strangers also. Self- motivation is an important ingredient of becoming a leader, as there is a very strong desire to accomplish the set goals.

However, these qualities, if not inherent, can also be developed through consistent practice and training. Developing these in your child is a not an easy task, but these skills can be taught through different methods and strategies. Some of the strategies you can follow to inculcate these skills are:

• Teaching the communicative skills for better verbal understanding through different listening and public speaking programs.

• Teaching the importance of cooperation and compromising at critical situations, respite various disagreements.
• Teaching the importance of completing the given tasks on time, despite difficulties.

    Thus, leadership qualities play an important role in our everyday lives. Being a voracious reader also helps in inculcating these qualities in your child and it should become a part of your child’s upbringing.
