Any skill that is useful in your life can be considered a life skill. Broadly speaking, the term ‘life skills’ is usually used for any of the skills needed to deal well and effectively with the challenges of life.
It is applicable for everyone (from children to Adults), who would like to be most successful in career and look for a quality personal life. Ideally, if these skills are given from school age, the effect will be seen when the individual is ready to take decisions related to their choice of career.
How can life skills benefit young people?
- It helps them to develop self-confidence and successfully deal with significant life changes and challenges, such as bullying and discrimination.
- It enables them to make a positive contribution by developing the expertise and experience they need to assert their rights and understand their responsibilities.
- Assertiveness means knowing what you want and why and being able to take the necessary steps to achieve what you want within specific contexts. Listening and valuing what others feel and want and why is an essential part of assertiveness.
- Emotions, such as fear, love, anger, shyness, disgust, and the desire to be accepted are subjective and usually impulsive responses to a situation. That is why they can be very unpredictable and often lead to actions, which are not based on logical reasoning. They can therefore easily lead people into behaviors they might later regret.
- At the level of peers, this is one of the most important aspects of interpersonal relationships. An individual needs friends to share life with, activities, hopes, fears, and ambitions. Friendship formation starts from the earliest stages of life but children and adolescents need to understand how friendships are formed and how to form and develop those which will be mutually beneficial.
