Life skills
Life skills are abilities which help people to deal with the demands and challenges that they face in life.[1]
The World Health Organization in 1999 identified cross-cultural areas of life skills:[2]
- Decision-making and problem solving.
- Creative thinking (see also lateral thinking and critical thinking)
- Communication and social skills.
- Self-awareness and empathy.
- Assertiveness and equanimity;
Most of the times children get life skills when they play or discover new things with adults.
