Developing Life Skills in Early Childhood through Integrated Daily Activities

Abstract

This academic article presents an approach to developing life skills in early childhood through integrated daily activities. The objective is to promote natural and age-appropriate learning experiences that align with children's real-life contexts. Essential life skills such as communication, decision-making, self-care, and social interaction can be effectively nurtured through meaningful everyday activities, including household tasks, health routines, role-playing, and peer interactions. Research indicates that learning through real-life situations positively impacts children’s physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. This article provides practical guidelines and activity examples that educators and caregivers can implement to help young children build a solid foundation of life skills and grow into well-rounded individuals.
