| The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs (And how parents can help!) After years of research, Ellen Galinsky, president of the Families and Work Institute, identified seven skills that children need for life. These skills are typically not taught in classrooms, but can be fostered by parents, teachers, and other adults through everyday games and interactions with children of all ages. The skills and the science behind them are explained fully in Galinsky’s new book, MIND IN THE MAKING: The Seven Essential Life Skills Every Child Needs. Ellen is with us today to shed some light on this topic and to give us some really great ideas to incorporate into our everyday life with our children.
