LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION TOOLKIT FOR ORPHANS AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN IN INDIA 9•
Objectives
By the end of the session children will:
- Develop a sense of trust so that personal growth
takes place; - Understand how some statements can hurt
others; and - Learn how to speak positively and support one
another.
Key Points
Any personal development first requires an
unconditional acceptance of the person by her/his
significant others even if some behavior needs to be
changed. Trust and friendship create an enabling
environment to test out new behavior learned
during training. Statements that hurt must be
consciously removed from one’s speech and
empathy for the other’s feelings should be created
in its place. The first two activities are
recommended, and the others may be used in
different training sessions.Life Skills Learned
