I wish I had then when I was a teen

This would have been a great book to have when I was a teen. But at least now it's available for my kids. It includes a lot of really important skills that everyone needs to know growing up, but you don't learn in school. My favorite one was about saving money. This is SUCH an important life skill, but many people don't know how to do it. And I love that the author even puts it in terms that any teen would be interested in. What teen doesn't want to have a car as soon as they get a license? This book says how they can start saving early to do just that!

This book contains incredible value

Parents are supposed to teach their children this information from an early age in life. Unfortunately, not all parents pay enough attention to this matter. By reading this book and applying it in life, teenagers will become much more mature as the year's progress. Children have to start thinking for themselves as early as possible in life. Great topic, excellent information.

Everything you need to be independent

This is a very useful skill-learning tool kit for every young adult out there. It has all the useful tips to start training yourself and get organised for the big steps you will have to take to become independent. It includes information on how to start saving from a very early age, and working with computers. . There are several everyday essentials which you probably will not take note of as you grow and are often not thought in schools like various shopping lists at various stages such as college dorms or when going camping. This is definitely an essential guide to help you take that first step into independence. I do recommend this book.

Best for Self Grooming

It is an amazing book for teens and adults. Simply, we can say that it is a complete package for one to be an independent person. This book will help you to improve your communication skills and many other skills like how to manage your house and how to find a job as a professional person.

It is a worthy recommendation for youth to have a better and secure future.

Excellent Life Advice!

I first read and loved Valli Quaintance's other longer book "Discover Life Skills for Teens and Young Adults: Manage Money, Get a Job, and Live an Independent Life", then I read this shorter one. I highly recommend them both. Although similar, there's some valuable information in this shorter one that's not in the longer one. I wish I'd had this information made available to me when I was a teen!
