Everyday Life Skills

Remember, life skills are simply the skills you need to make the most of life.

So you already have loads of them! You use life skills every single day, in school, in your relationships, in the things you love to do, and in the things you don’t!

In Taqaddam, we focus on the personal and interpersonal attitudes and abilities that support confidence and self-awareness and enable a deeper and more meaningful interaction with the world.

Have a scroll around the Taqaddam life skills map to see the kinds of things we’re talking about.

Complete the sentences below:

I felt proud of myself when I …

Someone appreciated something I did when …

A big risk I have taken was …

An important life lesson I have learned is …

The last really great conversation I had was …

Now, next to the sentences, write down all the life skills you used. You can always refer to the Life Skills map if you’re stuck for ideas – and you may find that you used the same life skill in a few examples.

Do that now…

Well done!

You should see that you have lots of different life skills and that you use them everyday, all of the time!
