There are wide ranges of intervention, training and therapeutic strategies that have been focused on eradicating effects of these factors on early adolescents and thus can prevent later antisocial behaviors (Hirokazu, 1995).Children who show high levels of physical aggression during the elementary school years are at greatest risk of involving in violent behaviors in adulthood ( Lansford, et al., 2007).The upper middle class adolescents are significantly showing serious disruptive behaviors that lead them to adult delinquency. (Luthar, Barkin, & Crossman, 2013). Research findings indicate that problems like excessive use of drugs, alcohol and vandalism had been evident in children who belonged to high income and well educated families (Shanley, Lefever, & Rice, 1966).Enhancement of subjective wellbeing and social skills in early childhood can prevent onset of delinquent behavior in adulthood. Life skills education training as a format focusses on developing psych- social competencies that can help children to deal with day to day life problems (WHO, Department of Mental health, 1998).This study focusses on children of 8 years of age studying in a private English medium school. It will assess their strengths and difficulties and levels of aggression at pre and post stages through self-report measures. A teacher’s report measure based on children behavior in last 30 days will also be used as a part of this life skills based training assessment. This study aims at identifying causes of onset of aggressive behavior in early childhood. It aims at outlining importance of life skills education training in building insight and awareness among children about outcomes of aggressive behaviors and its harmful effects in later lives.
