Positive Living Skills include "learning to focus on the positives, connect fully with what one is doing, and cope (or hopefully thrive) effectively with ongoing challenges.... People, especially children & adolescents, are living in a world that can be demanding, stressful and filled with distractions" (Partridge & Orlick, 2008). Therefore encouraging and nuturing the power of relaxation, positive visions and focus early on in life is key! http://www.zoneofexcellence.ca/Journal/Issue12/a_youth_intervention.pdf
