A burning debate that has been making the rounds recently is that only a handful of people will ever need the principles of algebra in their lives, but everyone will need to do their taxes at some point. Schools cannot and should not have to teach crucial life skills to children because those are best learned under the loving guidance of guardians. Even if 10 is too early to learn how to do complex calculations, there are a good number of basic life skills every child should know by the end of the first decade of their lives. Here’s what child-development experts, career planners and business leaders recommend:
Is life all about transitioning from one goal to another?
Parents can be nicer to younger siblings as they learn the art of parenting, but how does that make you feel?
We’re used to presenting an obedient yet cheerful mask of who we are.
Growing up, when your interests do not align with the rest of the crowd, you begin to feel more like an outsider.
Doubts, risks, and the joy in exploration.
It is completely fine to live life on your own terms.
Do you often quit if you don't excel at something immediately?
What's wrong with being productive? Nothing. However...
