Summary
If you want to make sure that your teen can breeze through “adulting” before they leave the nest, then keep listening….
Take a hard look at your kid right now: Exactly how many chores around the house can they do without supervision?
Can they take care of themselves when they get sick or injured? Or find their way back if they get lost? Or handle an emergency?
Do you think they can live on their own, or are you quite unsure about their future situation?
Don’t fret–you are not alone in your dilemma. According to a poll, six in ten parents worry that their teenage children lack essential life skills.
But first, what are life skills? Simply put, these are skills that prepare an individual to live independently and productively within a society. They include everything from paying taxes and managing money to applying for a job and actually getting it and even maintaining good personal hygiene.
Whether you’re located in the US, the UK, or anywhere in the world, this guide will help your teen navigate the complexities and challenges of the great big world.
Inside, here is just a small fraction of what you will discover:
- 80+ essential life skills your teen should know now
- The right ways to budget and manage money…so your kid won’t have to struggle financially in the future
- A step-by-step guide to making sure your teen will be fed properly–from shopping like a pro to cooking basic meals that any chef would be proud of
- Fool-proof techniques to manage every aspect of their adult life…including their home, car, time, and even their health
- The secrets to solving problems, overcoming stress, and making decisions every single day
- And much more
So if you want to help your child get ready now…so they can face whatever tomorrow brings, then you should listen to this audiobook.

Helpful resource for young adults
This book is an excellent informational guide for teens and young adults. So much needs to be taught in school, and it falls on busy, often full-time working parents to do the teaching. Remembering everything we need to impart to our children can be challenging, especially given how fast our society is moving. A book like this helps to fill in the knowledge gaps beautifully.
My only criticism is using Gen Z vocabulary to try to relate to the intended audience. To me, it came off as cringy and forced. When I asked my teenager, she felt the same. However, don’t let this keep you from listening to this fantastic resource.

Important Life Skills for Teens
Our educational system is not the best, but it's better than nothing. Unfortunately, it teaches us only information in hopes of acquiring a good job. Unfortunately, and not all the important life skills like managing money or communicating. These skills are just as important as memorizing a bunch of facts. That's why this is such an important book, it gives our youth, specially teens the knowledge and skills they need to deal with and manage life in healthy ways. Highly recommend for any teen or parent of a teen.
