Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Robin S (United States)

Wonderful tips for young adults beginning their journey into adulthood!

If only we were all taught these basic skills before we leave home... Great book, easy to understand, full of great advice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Janet Cooper (UK)

Wish I'd known this when I was a teen!

I love this book! It's extremely useful. With two teens and a tween, this book is filled with information that people of this age just don't know (because they're not taught it). It certainly fills in the gap!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Acorn (United States)

Easy to Understand Guide to Basic Life Skills

Where this book is a winner is that it brings together the instructions and exercises for many basic skills that used to be taught by one generation to the next.

About the Author

Ferne Bowe is a parent, marketing professional, and author of Life Skills for Young Adults & Life Skills for Tweens.With two kids of her own, she has first-hand experience with the challenges and triumphs of raising a teen.While watching her kids growing up, she noticed the gap between the skills kids need to thrive in the real world and what they are taught in school. For example, she noted that while kids are often taught how to get good grades, they are rarely taught how to manage their finances or have difficult conversations.She is on a mission to close that gap and help kids, and young adults find their purpose, develop self-awareness and confidence, and build their skills to create a life they love.Her message is simple: Mastering life skills and taking ownership of day-to-day tasks is the key to success, no matter your goals. Adopting this principle helps tweens, teens, and young adults develop the skills they need to live a successful life.Ferne loves traveling, spending time with her family and friends, reading, and running. She also enjoys watching movies, listening to music, and singing (badly). When she's not in front of a PC, you'll usually find her outside enjoying the countryside.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book I Wish I Had Back Then

B. · April 6, 2025

This is EXACTLY the sort of book I wish I had available to me when I was ready to leave home. I was filled with all sorts of braggadocio and I knew everything I needed to get out the door..............and then was introduced to the 'school of hard knocks'From discovering how to budget and manage your money, to learning how to cook and eat healthy food, to figuring out how to start a career, this book has something to teach even the most well rounded youngster. These aren't in-depth discussions about every aspect of how to live your life, but these ARE a great starting point and with the knowledge provided here, and a little bit of common sense, you can survive early adulthood and move towards a more fulfilling life.Life is a series of learned events, usually set it motion through observing the people we respect, but not everyone can be everywhere at once and this book can and does fill in a bit of this and a bit of that, often inspiring a conversation that will provide more opportunities to share life lessons and avoid some of the bumps and bruises life has to offer.As a grandparent watching his oldest grandsons get ready to leave the nest, I found this book to be a helpful way to share my experiences in a way that goes well beyond "because I said so" and reaches into the 'how' and the 'why', even explaining the reasoning, all without seeming to meddle in their affairs.Unlike childhood where you can stomp your feet, declare 'that's not fair' and receive an immediate 'do-over', real life doesn't offer that and it's best to be prepared for what life is going to bring you. This book does that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great boob!

I love this book I think everyone who is 18+ should get there hands on this it gives a lot of good tips and ones that you never thought about until you read the book. Overall I would totally recommend this book I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some information may be new...

5.0 out of 5 stars Overview of like skills for teens

O.f. · February 17, 2024

Bought for grandchild's 16th birthday.Over view of life skills and steps to becoming a young adult

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful tips for young adults beginning their journey into adulthood!

R.G. · June 6, 2022

If only we were all taught these basic skills before we leave home. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. This is where a book like Life Skills comes in as an excellent teacher of learning those necessary skills! Great book, easy to understand, full of great advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good tips for teens and not so young

R. · June 6, 2023

This booklet is a good read for teens to get the most important facts about how to manage their finances. It offers great tips for everybody, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good read for young adults

J.B. · February 21, 2023

Bought for my God daughter who is starting out life. I wish they would teach this in school. Has great tips not only for young adults but adults as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too simple

J.W. · June 2, 2022

Some of the information is inaccurate or out of date such as the food pyramid. Much of should have been learned long before they are ready to leave home. But some of it such as the simple recipes and the cleaning solutions are useful. I wish the author had spent a little time to address teens with disabilities and other special circumstances. All in all a decent book but the author could have done so much more.

Good investment

M. · July 21, 2023

Wish I'd known this when I was a teen!

J.C. · May 31, 2022

I love this book! It's extremely useful. With two teens and a tween, this book is filled with information that people of this age just don't know (because they're not taught it). It certainly fills in the gap!When it comes to my teenagers, this book prompted me to talk more about issues we don't usually talk about - especially the money issues. Although we cook together, it was good to have this as a reference for some basic meals and kitchen safety. My daughter is at the age when she will be ready to move out and we've realised how little she knows - but now she has this handy little guidebook.

Budgeting

C. · January 5, 2023

We need to educate our children, teach them what school isn’t preparing them for. Teach them to thrive more then survive
