Life skills are not seen as part of the basic curriculum and school children are still seen as a heard of mindless individuals who only need to be told what so called elders believe is best for them.<BR/><BR/>The awakening:<BR/>- Work towards relating life to kids in their own words.<BR/>- Building a safety net of giving them the freedom and the responsibility so that they have a self check mechanism.<BR/><BR/>Some schools like shree Ram and vasant Valley do have a bit of life skill training related to the course content, but it needs to be backed up at home. As parents we need to begin by being honest with our kids e.g. stop telling them the story about the stork that brought their baby brother from the clouds. If it has to be told it has to be accurate realistic and leave no scope for kids to try and find out for themselves, which may just turn out to be the wrong way.naveen siromonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730088741964997343noreply@blogger.com
