Cognitive development plays a crucial role in a child's growth, particularly for those aged 6-9, where they actively engage with their world and build the foundational skills necessary for lifelong learning. Social Studies is especially important during this stage, as it helps children understand their place in society and develop critical thinking, empathy, and decision-making skills. By participating in extra challenges in Social Studies, children enhance their cognitive abilities engaged with diverse perspectives, which fosters open-mindedness and cultural awareness.

Parents and teachers should care about this aspect of development because it not only enriches children’s understanding of history, geography, and communities but lays the groundwork for responsible citizenship. Extra challenges can stimulate curiosity and encourage students to connect concepts with real-world issues, prompting them to think critically about topics such as justice, equality, and civic duties. Moreover, these activities promote collaboration among peers, aiding social development and teaching teamwork. Given the increasing complexity of social issues today, fostering cognitive and cooperative skills through supplementing Social Studies becomes essential in helping children navigate their world effectively and compassionately. Investing in cognitive development now equips children with the tools needed for academic success and informed participation in society.
