Life skills are abilities you use to
take care of yourself or others from day to day. Previously, schools taught
many of these skills in classes such as home economics and shop. But similar to
sensory play, as academic institutions have felt increasing pressure to focus
on testing and other curriculum areas, these
types of courses have fallen by the wayside. Parents can't necessarily pick up the
slack, as modern families often require more than one adult in the household to
work. The result?
·
Many millennials and young adults
cannot bring basic knowledge areas to the brainstorming table. Millennials are
less likely than other generations, for example, to know how to repair their own homes, cook or sew. And during a time when Tesla is perfecting
self-driving cars, more than half of millennials admit they aren't very
confident (23.1 percent) or are clueless (36 percent) about how to change the
oil in their vehicles.
·
Young adults are paying more for help,
such as with frequent dining out due to the inability
to cook. That leaves less money to invest in
their ideas.
· Young adults are experiencing strong feelings of anxiety that can distract from creativity. As millennial Darshan Dedhia put it, "In job interviews, they're always asking, 'Where do you want to see yourself in 5 years?' And I never know how to answer that, because I'm always thinking on how to survive today and next week and what's coming up."
UNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION OF TODAY, Darshan Dedhia, International Trainer and his team who have been into Lifeskills since past 10 years have comeup with short term courses specially designed for kids to ingulgate the learnings of teamwork, teamspirit, get creative, increase calmness and patience among kids, be happy with what you have and respecting others. Having worked with kids and youngsters since past so many years, I have noticed that kids now a days have become so materialistic , so dependent , jealous , and impatient. all this are due to lack of lifeskill trainings. I would appeal to parents to make maximum use of the opportunity of this workshop!
