Description
An invaluable guide for teenagers ready to grow their independence
While many essential life skills, such as budgeting, communication, or time management, are introduced in classrooms or expected to be taught at home, they're often overlooked, forgotten, or squeezed out by the competing academic and extracurricular demands teens attempt to balance.
How to Human: Insights and Tips for Teenagers to Level Up in Real Life helps close that gap between what teenagers are exposed to in school and at home and what they will need to know in real life as they expand their independence. It provides practical guidance on such topics as handling finances, juggling responsibilities, fostering healthy relationships, applying for a job, learning safe practices in a digital age, and managing their own mental and physical health for the first time.
Incorporating humor, real-life scenarios, and interactive learning and prompts, teens will come away feeling empowered rather than overwhelmed, ready to step into adulthood with clarity, confidence, and a sense of control over their own lives.
