Description
In this ongoing, weekly, live course, teens will acquire practical and valuable life skills, including financial management, filling out applications, time management, smart consumer practices, taxes, and more. As a parent who recently helped my son and daughter transition into adulthood, I saw the gaps in practical knowledge they faced. From completing apartment applications and managing finances to mastering time management and budgeting, I noticed the essential skills missing from their formal education. This inspired me to create this course.
My aim is to share these vital life lessons, blending personal insights with professional expertise, to prepare teens for the realities of adult life. Adulting 101 isn't just a course; it's a compilation of the essential wisdom and skills I wish my children had learned sooner, now available to help your teen navigate adulthood confidently and successfully.
