Life Skills For Teens

School covered the Krebs cycle. It never covered how to tell if the chicken in the fridge has gone bad.

Thirteen sections of the ordinary adult tasks nobody ever scheduled a lesson for — food, money, laundry, health, the car, reading a map — written straight to your teenager, so they can look it up themselves instead of guessing or asking a search engine.

• The things adults take for granted, in one place: cooking, budgeting, grooming, emotions, clothing, home repairs, car care.
• Written to them, not to you. They can read it alone without feeling lectured.
• Short sections with page numbers — they look up the one thing they need this week, not a chapter they have to sit down and study.
• A paperback that lives on a desk or in a bag, not a PDF that disappears into a downloads folder.
