The NAPPS Personal Development is a subject that aims to:
i. Improve the social, emotional, and cognitive growth of young learners.
ii. Help children develop crucial life skills and self-awareness.
iii. Prepares children for the challenges of the future.
This subject includes topics like how to introduce yourself, welcome others, good manners, how to ask and answer questions, and showing love and care to others. These topics teach children very important emotional intelligence.
They are also taught about the evils of bullying and standing up for themselves which is very necessary as they grow old. These topics help children to develop confidence in themselves as well as how to defend their peers.
