These skills can also be called surviving skills.
You may think that it is not important to teach your child or yourselves these skills but you will find that a child or person that is prepared for any situation is a more self assured child /adult and a child/adult that can handle any situation coming his/her way better.

*The information you give to a child should be appropriate to the child's age.
*Although you should be honest about the dangers that life entails, you should not make the child anxious.

• The better you prepare a child for a certain situation the better they will be handling things when they have to and the better they will be able to protect themselves.
• Do not take it for granted that a young child or even adult knows how to use a phone or cellphone or knows how to handle peer pressure.
• A child or adult that understands friendships and knows how to be a good friend has a skill for the rest of his life that he/she will be able to use.
