Encouraging kids to study the game of chess is a great move you can make as a parent. Kids that are mentally gifted as well as children with lesser abilities and those that struggle in school will all benefit from the challenging game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChess levels the playing field and allows every child an opportunity to succeed. With encouragement from parents and coaches, children will catch the spirit and eagerly embrace this game, desiring to excel and looking forward to chess competitions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChess will not only help a child in school, it will help them in life! As a child learns and studies chess, he or she will be exercising and creating disciplines of the mind while expanding mathematical and calculative abilities. The child will also be learning patience, planning, consequences, balance of time, resources and other essential life skills.\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChess is Fun!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet's not forget though, chess is fun!!

You just hand them a book, and let them absorb it. In most cases however, kids are visual, have a short attention span, and need to be encouraged. It's best to select materials that are not overwhelming, that will be visually appealing, and at a suitable level - especially if you will be letting your child learn on their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have a quality teacher or chess coach in your area, you may want to take advantage of this, but there's every reason to learn at home, with the great tools available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGet a basic, but good quality regulation plastic chess set. This will be useful whether you only play at home, or if you are part of a class or club.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext, choose a combination of DVD instruction, books, and software as you see fit for your child's needs and learning style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chess4life learning tools by Elliott Neff set up children for success at learning the game while sharpening life skills.

On the second night, he wanted to watch 2 segments. A few days later, we were playing a game and he mentioned his \"pawn shield\". I knew it was sinking in for him. Now we are going through Knight level and he joined the second grade Chess Club. It's fun because we are both learning.
