They represent the psycho social skills that determine valued behaviour and include reflective skills such as problem solving and critical thinking, to personal skills such as self awareness, and to interpersonal skills. Practicing life skills leads to qualities such as self esteem, sociability and tolerance, to action competencies to take action and generate change, and to capabilities to have the freedom to decide what to do and who to be. Life skills are thus distinctly different from physical or perceptual motor skills, such as practical or health skills, as well as from livelihood skills, such as crafts, money management and entrepreneurial skills . Health and livelihood education however, can be designed to be complementary to life skills education, and vice versa. Life Skills Based Education LSBE has a long history of supporting child development and health promotion.
