A child cannot thrive unless specific skills that act as the foundation for a life of learning are developed. These skills are known to be foundational, including numeracy, literacy, and transferable skills, among others. Without core skills, children struggle to gain information and experience. Given the critical need to focus on core abilities, it is surprising that in many developing nations, these skills are frequently overlooked when establishing curricula for children (Ibadat, 2023). When we talk about children's development of skills, we usually assume that girls excel in innovation and social skills like art & craft, designing, playing with dolls etc while boys excel more at motor skills like running, skipping, throwing etc. So, the current study aims to investigate the gender differences among children in regard with the skills that are Self-Management, Innovation, Emotional Resilience, Cooperation and Social Engagement Skills. The study included 114 (n=57 boys & n=57 girls) participants aged 11-15 years from Jaipur city. The tool employed: The Behavioural, Emotional, and Social Skills Inventory (BESSI-20; Sewell et al., 2024). The findings of the study demonstrated that there is no difference in the skill set of adolescents on the basis of gender.
