Synopsis

About the Book

The book seeks to systematize life skills, but its purpose is not simply to create separate lists of competencies. Rather, it aims to connect the academic dimensions of life skills with their practical development and application. In doing so, it seeks to reveal the interconnected structure of human capabilities and integrate them into a comprehensive developmental framework organized around five domains: Independent Living Skills (Chapters 1, 2, and 3); Emergency Life Skills (Chapters 4 and 5); Diverse and Adaptable Life Skills (Chapter 6); Personal Financial Skills (Chapter 7); and Digital Life Skills (Chapter 8). The integrated perspective developed across these chapters represents a shift from dependence toward meaningful participation. Once this framework is established, a natural question follows: How can parents, caregivers, and educators systematically support children in developing these capacities? Chapter 9 addresses this question by focusing on the role of adults in fostering life skills development. Ultimately, educating children for life means educating them for the fullness of what it means to be human. In this sense, educating the whole person is the broader aspiration of this book.

本书简介
本书致力于将生活技能进行系统化梳理，但其目的并非仅仅罗列各项能力清单，而是力求将生活技能的理论层面与实践发展有机结合。本书旨在揭示人类能力之间相互关联的结构，并将其整合进一个以五大领域为核心的综合发展框架之中：独立生活技能（第1、2、3章）、应急生活技能（第4、5章）、多元且灵活的适应性生活技能（第6章）、个人理财技能（第7章）以及数字生活技能（第8章）。贯穿这些章节的综合视角，体现了从“依赖”向“有意义的参与”的转变。在确立这一框架后，一个合乎逻辑的问题随之而来：父母、照料者及教育者应如何系统地帮助儿童培养这些能力？本书的最后一章（第9章）便探讨了这一议题。本书坚信，面向生活的教育，归根结底是为了培养完整的人；因此，“全人教育”正是本书所秉持的宏大愿景。
