Looking at the society we live in today, we have to wonder what sort of children we
are raising. Proliferation of drugs, under age smoking, drinking, graffiti,
kids being stabbed in school etc, etc. How is it coming to this?

However, if you take one step back, it is no surprise that children are coming 'off the rails'.
In many families the basics of respect for both oneself and others, of self-discipline and
manners are either non-existent or buried under the 'fast-food' instant gratification
lifestyle we expose our children to.

'At the Life Skills For Children,
we believe that the citizens of tomorrow are being formed today'

Whilst it is important to understand your literacy and numeracy, isn't it just as important,
if not more so today, to understand the difference between right and wrong? To understand
how to take care of yourself physically, and mentally, to understand the benefits of good
health and fitness, to know how to set goals and go after them.

The Life Skills for Children programme is a simple step by step guide to educating young
people in a series of skills that will allow them to experience scenarios and activities,
which they will naturally call on and develop, including: vision, confidence, motivation,
communication, passion, persistence, action, charisma, creativity, strategy,
courage and trust. They find out the importance of setting their own goals and, perhaps
most importantly of all, they find out WHY these skills are important.
Give a child a big enough WHY and they will walk through walls to achieve it.

The Life Skills team appreciate that the diverse curriculum provided by many
schools positively enhances the child's learning experience, and that many
educational establishments are doing a great job educating and inspiring young people.
Life Skills for Children positively enhances this good work to provide young people
with a better chance of becoming successful members of their communities.
