October 17, 2019 is Global Life Skills Day Worldwide. Life Skills competency is not an optional choice. We learn life skills daily; sometimes easily, sometimes not. Life Skills educators bring rich talents to help all develop high competency and success in their daily life.
Do you think Life Skills human beings use daily merit quality education? The international consciousness movement Parenting 2.0, (P20) agrees. Life Skills, as defined by Parenting 2.0, are “Skills every human being learns in some measure.” Examples include emotional, environmental and financial literacy – skills traditionally taught by parents.
“Reliance on parents – rarely formally educated themselves – to teach future generations critical twenty-first century Life Skills communicates a gross ignorance of their complexity and their importance,” maintains P20’s Founder “Mama Marlaine” Cover. “Take any chronic societal problem – bullying, divorce, wars, obesity, starvation, record personal debt, international financial collapse – and you will find its roots in an impoverished educational process.”
Parenting 2.0 is the top ranked parenting group on the world’s largest professional networking site – LinkedIn – with nearly 9,000 members in over a hundred countries, and host of the world’s only professional conference for Life Skills Educators – P20 Talks. P20 Talks alternates bi-annual international conferences on rotating continents in even years with regional events in odd years. The anchor date for P20 advocacy is Global Life Skills Day, celebrated annually on the third Thursday in October. For more information visit their website https://www.parenting2pt0.org/
