According to the Canadian Government, the top two essential skills for young people are Oral Communication, and Critical Thinking.  ("Human Resources and Skills Development Canada").  Amanda Morln – a blogger also agrees with the Canadian Government that Communication is in fact an essential skill for children to obtain. In her article she does not talk about communication via the internet, phone, or texting, she uses her example with children speaking one on one with other people therefore talking about Oral Communication.  (Morln).  Just like the Canadian Government Prokerla also agrees that one of the essential skills that children must develop is Critical Thinking  ("PROKERALA KIDS")  Positive Articles also say that Communication is very important for when a person wants to communicate wants, needs, wishes, as well as thoughts.  (Uebergang). 
    If these social skills are not met at an early age, it will impact the child`s future – they will require extra support when dealing with anxiety, as well as stress.  Without this extra support it will be greatly difficult for them to share, solve problems on their own, cope with anger, and sharing will also be difficult. (Rae). Which is why social skills are the last essential skill for children to have.

  Having social skills helps children to be mature, and have personalities that will be accepted by society, having these skills will provide the confidence, and the capability to succeed in life.  ( ‘Prokerla Kids ‘ )  Without the proper social skills children will be more at risk to be rejected by other peers, behavior problems, low academic achievement. (Gilliam & Shahar, 2006).  Good Social Skills helps us to be able to function in life, how to make good decisions, what to say in different situations, how to act in the proper way in situations.
