In March , we attended the National Student Assistance Conference in Nashville, TN with more than 1,000 educators. It was great to see a growing interest in the power of life skills.
Life skills education helps children understand themselves, their friends and their world.
By sharing positive life skills lessons, children become more effective - most important, you'll inspire them to discover their own strengths and interests in life. With positive goals, your children will shine. I only saw two things at the conference that weren't encouraging. I think it s a shame to see groups spending a considerable amount of time and energy assembling such detailed, but negative, lessons. Life skills suggests that you spend those hours talking with your children about school work, hobbies or sports.
