Today, Children are exposed to TV and print media, which promote instant gratification desires, low frustration tolerance and false ideals. They glorify violence and sex in no mean proportions. They are easily taken to fast food culture and sedentary life style. Added to this, substance abuses such as smoking & alcohol consumption are widespread. These affect their physical and mental health.
Life skills are ‘living skills’ or abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with demands and challenges of every day life (WHO, 1997)
In particular, life skills are a group of cognitive, personal and interpersonal abilities that help people make informed decisions, solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, empathise with others, and cope with and manage their lives in a healthy and productive manner. Life skills represent cross-cutting applications of knowledge, values, attitudes and skills which are important in the process of individual development and in lifelong learning.read more
