Life skills are abilities which help people to deal with the demands and challenges that they face in life.[1]
The World Health Organization in 1999 identified cross-cultural areas of life skills:[2]
- Decision-making and problem solving.

- Communication and social skills.
- Self-awareness and empathy.

Most of the times children get life skills when they play or discover new things with adults.
