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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

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.

A Must-Have Guide for Teens (and Their Parents!)
I have two teens at the moment and as I started getting them ready to leave I wanted some checkpoints to make sure they were getting the skills needed to do the "adulting" thing. This book was exactly what I needed to help my teen prepare for life outside of the house. I've always worried about whether they could handle the real world, especially when it comes to budgeting, cooking, and just managing daily tasks. This guide breaks everything down in a way that's easy for them to grasp and, honestly, it's saved me so much stress. We made a checklist and are working through these like projects to tackle! We've already put some of the tips into action, and I'm seeing a boost in their confidence. It's a relief knowing they’ll be ready when the time comes to fly solo!

Learning how to keep their financial matters secured, as well as banking and investment explained well and in great details in simple words.
On maintaining your image and dressing up, there are tons of great tips from choosing the right outfit to cleaning and maintaining it and everything in between.
On home maintenance and getting organized, you'll find helpful advices on how to find a suitable, affordable and safe place to live at, and all the related areas you need to be aware of from the lease contract to dealing with leaks, etc. Whether this place is your college residency or a private rental, you'll gain great insights and you're even covered on the dormitory qualification.
The above are just a few of the great topics in this book and I won't spoil the rest, as I want to leave the remainder to you to find out and enjoy for yourself.

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.

As a parent who has had many teens in the house, this is a very cool book to help get prepare them to leave the next and get out into the great wide world alone. This audiobook is packed with over 80 essential life skills that each and every teen should know, and some of them, I didn't realize is a good thing my teen should know. There are tips in here for budgeting their money to shopping for and preparing their own food. When you purchase, you get a free bonus PDF to download and print which has great information they can have with them such as food to buy and food to avoid, Time management charts, and how to read a bank statement. I just passed this on to my youngest teen still at home and I am looking forward to the help it provides her.
