Getzi Baby T., Martha George, , P. Anto Paulin Brinto

Abstract


This empirical study focuses on studying the relationship between the impact of life skills education among the institutionalized orphan children and the academic stress. Institutionalized orphan children often feel disturbed and insecure which may affect their psychosocial condition. This situation may not allow them to feel happy and their academic achievement may also disrupt. To provide solution to these problems and enhance their wellbeing, life skills education would be the right platform for them. Many studies stated that life skills education creates a greater impact on the lives of people. It has been proved that academic stress was reduced significantly through the practice of life skills training. This study also suggested that every educational and welfare organization should take a step seriously to instill values and ethics among the children. Life skills approach helps them to realize their potential and make them unique and strong in their decisions.
