Product Details
Web ID: 18497055Helpful info for teens
Chapters: Health Skills – self care basics, grooming, eating habits, doctor visits Money Skills – saving, spending, earning Home Skills – laundry, cooking, cleaning Social Skills – job interviews, social media, etiquette Other Skills – pets, travel, roommates, etc. There is also an index at the back, and each chapter ends with a checklist summary. I thought the hand images were kind of annoying, but I liked the variety of topics covered in an easy-to-understand way. I think this book would be very helpful for many teens, especially those with ASD or needing more instruction in life skills. I assume the age recommendation of 16+ is due to the sections on jobs or driving, but most of this would be good for younger teens. It’s not intimidating, long enough to cover the basic info but not wordy and uses lists and very short paragraphs. I think this book is better in paperback and would be a good gift. Thanks to the publisher for a digital ARC via NetGalley to use for my review.
