destrezas para la vida


Explanation:
Otra manera de referirse a "life skills".
También he visto "destrezas vitales". Aunque vitales podrái entenderse también como "esenciales, primordiales".

Educación para la vida diaria/cotidiana


Explanation:
A mí me parece más natural así en español. Creo que las "skills", tan utilizadas en inglés, no se suelen mencionar tanto en los textos en castellano... salvo cuando se trata de traducciones.
Un saludo,
Cecilia
