As you learn and experience new things, questions about basic life skills will arise. This book is here to help you solve the daily problems adults take for granted.

And yes, you can ask your parents or other trusted adults in your life to teach you specific skills, but sometimes you just want to figure it out on your own. That’s where this guide comes into play.

    • Important info for teens
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my nephew who is a junior in high school. I'm that aunt who buys one fun gift and one useful gift. This definitely fell into the useful category. It has a lot of great info on adulting issues and it's an easy read for teens. I can see this becoming a bit of a reference down the road...something you pick up again when you have a question. And, he actually liked it and took time to look thru it. And that's saying something! ... show more

    • Perfect amount of depth to get kids started....
I bought one at Thanksgiving to look through it. Now buying two more. I plan to give them as Christmas gifts to my 13 year old daughter and two of her 13 year old cousins. What I liked about this book is that it covers a nice range of topics at just the right level of detail. The first chapter "Food & Kitchen" provides basic info about eating balanced meals, how to read a nutrition label, how to select fruits and vegetables at the grocery store, food safety and storage guidelines, a basic overview of knives and cookware, basic guidelines for using an oven, stove, microwave, toaster, and toaster oven, and tips on washing dishes. I appreciated little tidbits like suggestions for how to keep your dishwashing sponge sterile. Kids will get a kick out of details like the page that shows illustrations and names of each type of kitchen knife. Each topic is address in about 2-3 paragraphs over a page. But this is perfect because it is just enough info to give kids a basic idea and get them interested. Any more information, and most kids would tune out and think the book is boring. Rather, I feel like kids will skim through this book, pick up some good tips, and be motivated to do online research about the topics that catch their interest and they want to learn more about. Kids are great at using the internet to help them figure things out, and this is a great way to point them in the right direction. The other chapters in the book cover: - personal hygiene and grooming, basic first aid, how to use insurance to see a doctor and what to do to prepare for your appointment, how to spot depression and tips for dealing with anxiety - saving money, budgeting, managing a bank account and using a credit card - goal setting, career planning, and learning from failure - emotional regulation, dealing with stress, anger management, and strategies for staying connected with people you love - problem solving and decision-making strategies' - assessing your own values, growing from mistakes, how to give a sincere apology, and how to ask for help - strategies for maintaining healthy friendships and family relationships, - how to do laundry, iron, tie a tie, clean different types of shoes, and sew a button back on - how to deal with common home maintenance issues like when a circuity breaker or pilot light goes out, how to turn off a water line (and tell the difference between a gate valve and a ball valve), how to fix a running toilet, how and WHEN to use a fire extinguisher, the different types of screwdrivers, how to change a lightbulb, and how to hang an object on a wall without damaging the wall - basic car maintenance and how to read a map, and tips for using public transportation Again, the book does not provide extensive detail on each topic. It's only 134 pages of LARGE print. But I feel it goes a long way towards empowering kids to feel independent and introduces them to a wide range of topics that they then will feel motivated to go learn more about. ... show more

    • Gift for grandchild
I bought this for my granddaughter (4th grade) and she read it in one evening. She said it was helpful and taught her several things. She learned where the routing and account numbers are on a check, she learned about credit cards and the account number on credit cards. She also learned how to read an insurance card and so much more. My daughter (her mother) said she was impressed by all the information in the book and felt like it was helpful for my granddaughter and that my granddaughter was actively engaged while she was reading it and kept commenting on the things she was reading about. The book will be available for my grandson when he is old enough to read it! You never know about books until you actually have it in your hands and can actually read it, this book did not disappoint! ... show more

    • Four-and-a-Half Stars: A Handy Guide for Teen Life Skills
Life Skills for Teens by Karen Harris offers a broad spectrum of essential knowledge, from cooking and cleaning to managing money and performing basic car maintenance. While the book covers many topics with practical tips, it sometimes lacks depth in certain areas. Overall, it's a valuable resource that provides a solid starting point for teens learning to navigate adult responsibilities. The downside is my teens didn't engage with it. For me, the adult, I thought it was a great book, but for some reason, my son and daughter, just put the book down and moved on. Perhaps a foreword with several ideas on how best to introduce to a teen would be appreciated. ... show more

    • Quick read
Perfect to give teens for some basic knowledge that we try to give, but sometimes miss, teaching our kids with the busy lives we live. Got this for my daughter but also kinda helped me out on some things lol.

    • Life Skills for teens.
Great little box of advice for young teens, some of it is just common sense(which some teens don’t have a BIT of), then other more helpful like how to balance a checkbook or change a car tire!! My nephew just turned 14, and his mom says he’s not much of a reader, but she loved this book for him, he can just read a chapter at a time for whatever he needs to know at the moment! I have a few MORE great nieces and nephews about to enter THEIR teens, so I’ll be buying a few more for them!!💕💕 ... show more

    • Not well written
The tips and skills written in this book most are useless . Not worth the money .
