Here’s a heads-up of what you will find inside Adulting: Life Skills for Teens:- Practical tips for managing your finances, including budgeting and saving strategies.

- Proven strategies for developing healthy habits, including exercise, nutrition, and self-care.

52 Modern Manners for Today’s Teens
THE ONLY THING HARDER THAN PARENTING A TEEN IS BEING A TEEN
THIS 52 WEEK CALENDAR OF CREATIVE AND CRUCIAL TIPS FOR TEENS WILL HELP BOTH PARENTS AND TEENAGERS NAVIGATE OUR MODERN WORLD WITH CONFIDENCE.
A few useful tips you’ll find inside…NOTHING ONLINE IS PRIVATE
If you would not be ok with your parents, their parents, the entire school, or a future employer seeing or reading it, keep it to yourself. Nothing online ever really goes away, and in our digital world, nothing is private.KNOW YOURSELF
When someone asks what you like to do or what you are into, have an answer ready. There is no “right answer” to this question, but “I don’t know” or “nothing” is the wrong answer. You don’t have to be awesome at something to be interested in it. You don’t have to be on a team or in a club to have a hobby. What you love doesn’t have to be loved by everyone else. If you don’t know what to say, take some time to think about it. If no answer comes, try more things.DON’T LEAVE ONE PERSON OUT
Inviting all except one is cruel. Be someone who includes and makes room. If you have a problem with someone, talk to them; don’t just ghost them. Put yourself in that person’s shoes because chances are, you will be left out someday. Remember: there is always room for one more.RESPECT PEOPLE’S HOMES
Ask about their shoe policy. Never put your feet on furniture. Don’t lie on decorative pillows. Ask permission before eating. Keep your food and drinks in the kitchen. Stay in common areas and out of bedrooms. If you mess it up, clean it up. Keep your volume at an appropriate level. If you break something, take responsibility and replace it.Read more

You Don’t Understand Me: The Young Woman’s Guide to Life – The Sunday Times bestseller
‘The 21st-Century Girl’s Survival Pack’ – Caitlin Moran‘I would recommend this brilliantly clear and informative book to every young girl…Tara writes with deep knowledge, warmth and humour about all the challenges young girls and all of us face, and she tells us how to overcome them’ – Julia Samuel
The Sunday Times bestseller
For girls and young women these are shifting times: never before have they had so much freedom and choice; but never before have they had so many demands placed upon them – by themselves as well as others.
Writing directly to girls and young women Dr Tara Porter draws on decades of experience to offer them insight into their own psychology. From exams to friendship, from families to love, Tara pulls together everything she has learnt to provide accessible explanations and suggestions for teenagers and young women everywhere. Like a warm letter from a wise friend or big sister, You Don’t Understand Me not only understands the young person’s perspectives but guides them through their challenges they face.
You Don’t Understand Me is uniquely written to teenagers and young women. But in explaining young women to themselves, it also provides an indispensable guide to their parents: a glimpse behind the rolled eyes and the protestations their daughter makes: ‘You Don’t Understand Me’.
‘If God were a mother, this is the Bible she would write for teenage girls and young women. This book is the greatest gift you could give your daughter’ – Caitlin Moran
