Essential!

Love that the author discusses social media in depth. But not just what to be aware of… also how to use it successfully and beneficially. And the chapter in finances is ace! It’s become apparent to me recently that, despite studying math in every single grade, so many kids don’t learn the basics of managing finances. For those kids, this book gives great tips and guidance. Thanks!

Much needed Info for any teen

What you should be learning in school. This book is jam packed with everything you could possible need to succeed in life. My favourite section is on leveraging social media. We live in a world where there is no regulation on the internet, and it can be very detrimental if you don’t have guidance. It inevitably will consume you unless you use it to your advantage. Worth the listen

What every teenager needs

This book talks about extremely important skills that every teenager should have. Its definitely helps you to develop every single essential skill! really well done. This should be included in schools!

Such A Great Resource!

This book is a perfect resource for the upcoming generation. I wish I had the advice that is taught in this book about goal and time management, and especially finances when I was in my youth. I had to learn those by sheer error in my twenties. Honestly, a great resource and every teenager should have a copy.

Great book

This book includes all the things you need to say but would never think of. Takes the haphazadry out of many areas of teen life, and what's more it's coming from a trusted source, not just ohhh mum. An excellent feature of this book is how it is divided into 13 concepts - this makes it easier to go through one at a time and get the skills before moving on if necessary. Because from my experience a teen is never going to sit down and read a whole book like this in a few goes. I really recommend this book to all parents of teens and even tweens.
