MADINAH: Dr. Wafaa Al-Tajal, a researcher and consultant in early childhood education, has said that culture is a key factor in building children’s personalities, highlighting its pivotal role in developing their intellectual and social skills.
During her participation in a dialogue seminar on the role of culture in shaping a child’s personality, which was held at the Madinah Book Fair, she emphasized the importance of cultural activities such as reading, theater, and visual arts in honing children’s talents and building self-confidence.
She also noted the role of these activities in instilling human values and tolerance, as well as in preserving cultural heritage and traditions, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Enhancing children’s language skills, she added, is a significant step toward developing their intellectual and creative personalities by focusing on useful vocabulary and communication skills, as well as helping their ability to express themselves and interact with their surroundings.
Al-Tajal said that these developmental opportunities can be maximized through a supportive environment and the active roles of both the family and school in fostering a sense of belonging.
