Facing the rapid development of the social sectors of education, the new era has been striving to innovate for the content, quality and method of how to achieve 2 major objectives which are to train human resources and life skills for students. However, besides the achievements of the whole industry, the recent reality we often see teenagers tend to increase in school violence, susceptible to social vices, selfish, heartless, closed her… At the same time practical skills, communication skills, problem solving skills, self-service capability reduces itself… Furthermore entering international integration requires young people to self- information; to capture timely opportunities as well as to have some skills: healthy living, healthy living, good programming, good English…

Today, life skills training for young generation which is typical students is a joint responsibility of the family, school and society. In it, the teacher plays a crucial role. This is also one of the content of the movement “Building friendly schools – students positive” that the Ministry of Education has proposed.

So, if adult timely orientation, shape it can easily lead to unnecessary mistakes. Students most of the agricultural families, many children still subject to the poor and near poor. Besides the family aware of the combination of three hands in the education of children, the child was not at the subject has not been taught proper attention. And many families working away, at home with grandparents, brothers or parents do worry eat, less interested in their children…
