Lifeskills are the psychosocial skills needed to adopt appropriate and positive behavior that enable individuals to respond effectively to the demands and challenges of daily life.
They are often sorted into three broad categories:
-
Communication and interpersonal skills: active listening, empathy; negotiation and refusal skills; cooperation and teamwork skills, etc.
-
Critical thinking and decision-making skills: ability to analyze societal attitu- des, values and norms; problem solving, etc.
-
Coping and self-management skills: self- awareness; emotional and stress mana- gement, etc.
Life skills are not systematically taught at school, yet they are essential for successful social and professional integration.
