Education, Science, Marks, Ranks, Economic, Social Even if you have the ability - if you don't have self-confidence, you can't face problems and make the right decisions, failure is inevitable. Life skills are the basis for youth to take a step forward in life, to increase self-confidence, to face hardships with courage. It is better to provide these in a natural way by the family and society.

Currently, the children who are growing gently are lacking in maturity. They are unable to bear even a small problem. If they fail in the exams, if they fail once, if their friends do not talk to them, if they disagree with their parents, they feel deeply depressed. They are destroying lives with the feeling that they have lost something. They are getting stuck not knowing the strategies and skills to be adopted in emotional situations. The World Health Organization has identified ten life skills as particularly important in youth development. Self-awareness is the ability to recognize one's own abilities, limitations, preferences, and aspirations. Life skills such as empathy, problem solving, decision making, expressiveness, critical thinking, creativity, interpersonal relationship management, emotional control and stress tolerance should be taught to children from an early age. Schools, parents and society should take responsibility for this. Only then will our students succeed in today's competitive world. Parents and schools should make efforts to inculcate life skills in children from the age of 12.

Be a part of education!

Class wise children according to age As with the curriculum, age-specific life skills training should be included as part of upbringing. Along with studies, there are many things that children entering adolescence have to naturally adapt to from family and society. Spending time with family members, participating in family activities, witnessing the backgrounds of joint families and attending social events are mandatory for the youth. Schools should provide not only studies and marks but also the necessary skills for a better life. At present there is a lack of awareness in schools about moral values ​​and advice on life skills. In the past, the joint family was a standing research university, a laboratory of direct experience for every problem. Although life-shaping skills are not taught as a curriculum, mental maturity lays a solid foundation. In today's age, it is enough for children to spend endless time on mobile, internet and social media. There is no opportunity to communicate directly with friends, relatives and neighbors. Internet-connected associations are high. These are devouring the youth from within. Eye diseases, mental stress and social disorders are becoming a threat.

Parents should educate the children growing up in such dire conditions, especially the children in the adolescent stage, about physical, mental and social changes. Everything should be discussed amicably. Doubts should be cleared. Dispel fears. Motivation should be given to recognize self-efficacy. Thoughts and opinions should be expressed without hesitation. Develop critical analysis, creative thinking and interpersonal skills. Be trained to deal with stress and emotions with restraint. It is the parents' responsibility to train their children to treat their peers with love, get rid of hostility and negative thoughts and make analytical decisions.

These are things that are not taught anywhere else!

Grandparents should give children a deep understanding of how they coordinate the family burden, social responsibilities and financial aspects. There are many things that cannot be taught in any school or university, such as arranging a family, talking to relatives and friends, how to deal with them, how to greet one's friends warmly. Therefore, the family is a college. Platforms to provide family and community field experience in life skills training. Everyone should make some time for family. That little time will make the child's future golden. Life skills with values ​​are the stable foundations of lives. At home, it is important for parents to spend at least one hour a day away from TV and mobile phones and spend time with their children, discuss them, and see that they get along with relatives and friends. Thus, a new trend should be initiated in the life skills of the youth.
