WHY LIFESKILLS?

Life skills are invaluable abilities that enable individuals to navigate the challenges and complexities of daily existence, fostering personal growth, success, and overall well-being. While formal education equips us with knowledge, life skills provide the practical tools needed to thrive in various situations. From communication and problem-solving to time management and emotional intelligence, developing these skills can significantly enhance one's quality of life.

Taibah International School Junior exhausted the following life skills this term and the outcome of our endeavours has been positively witnessed through various aspects this term as follows: Greeting, saying thank you or appreciating, saying sorry or apologizing, Table manners and toilet etiquette.

The detailed life skill topics dealt with contributed to a positive impact for the betterment of our learners such as:

Greeting as a skill was essential for social interactions and building relationships. It also helped the pupils to communicate effectively with others and demonstrate respect and politeness.

Thank you.” These are two words that have the power to transform our health, happiness, performance, and success. Research tells us grateful people are happier and more likely to maintain good friendships. This magic word was fully emphasized and our learners have been happy throughout the term.

Apologies help us put the conflict behind us and move on more easily. Many benefits come from forgiveness in terms of happiness and stress relief. 3 Being adept at apologizing when appropriate can strengthen relationships, reduce conflict, and bring forgiveness. It can be hard, but it's well worth the effort.

Saying sorry is a Conflict Resolution: Conflicts are a natural part of human interaction, and knowing how to resolve them peacefully and constructively is vital. Effective conflict resolution promotes healthy relationships, reduces stress, and fosters cooperation this reduces fights and quarrels among our learners.

Using manners at the table is all about taming impulsivity. And because willpower and self-restraint are recognized predictors of success in life, they're worth nurturing. Expecting children to control themselves at the dinner table was the right way to begin teaching these skills thus our pupils are able to eat appropriately.

Toilet etiquette is all about hygiene and cleanliness. Toilets can be germ-ridden places and if enough care is not adopted hygienic practices can contribute to the spread of many types of disease. This has been minimized through our fortnight interactions.

Conclusion: Life skills are the foundation upon which individuals build successful and fulfilling lives. By honing these abilities, individuals can navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and cultivate meaningful connections. As we continue to evolve in a dynamic world, investing in the development of life skills is an investment in our personal growth and overall well-being. So, let's embark on this journey of self-improvement and equip ourselves with the tools needed to thrive in every facet of life.
