Life skills

Life skills are abilities which help people to deal with the demands and challenges that they face in life.

The World Health Organization in 1999 identified cross-cultural areas of life skills:

 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.
