Packed with a lots of relevant information while covering a broad variety of topics. It is a great resource with valuable information that can guide teens as they navigate life and mature into young adults.
Teen thrive resources are really practical and this doesn’t disappoint.

This is a great book which covers so many topics to help teens navigate growing up and becoming independent. I loved reading through the different chapters and even picked up some useful tips myself (40 yrs old) proof we’re never too old to learn something new! The only thing I picked up on was, there were some specific points that are tailored to teens based in the U.S. rather than the U.K. That said, I think there is a lot of really useful info, tips and exercises for teens based here in the U.K. so I would definitely still recommend this book.

A book packed with a lot of good and relevant information.
I think it will be helpful to a vast number of teens and also, perhaps, their parents.
My only concern is whether teens will read it, as it is a fairly substantial book (over 300 pages) and many teens seem a bit reading averse – at least to reading things in book form. That’s the only reason I rated it as four stars and not five.
Nonetheless, the book covers a lot of things that teens often don’t know, but would be very useful for them to know. The authors have endeavoured to keep the book interesting and not looking like a textbook, and they are to be commended for that.

It’s an interesting book, especially if you are new to all this (teenager). I did like some chapters more than others which I thought could have been a bit more specific or had some strange mistakes (menstrual cups are cotton (???) devices, f.ex. They are rubber (or whatever material it is rubbery, definitely not cotton)), or some US specific information. There are some chapters better suited for older teens or even older ages (car ownership and mortgages). But all together interesting read, can serve parents as a plan/reminder of the things to teach their kids as well. I’d say it will be used in our house if not by teenager then by me as a reminder of teachable things. I wish I had a book like this when I grew up as my parents did not teach a lot of the things covered in this book. Recommend.
For those wondering:
Part 1 (Taking care of yourself) covers hygiene and physical care, learning what to say and not to say, self-care mental health, set your routine, taking care of your body, eating right, managing your health, making food decisions.
Part 2 (Taking care of your home): cooking, cleaning, sorting.
Part 3 (Taking care of business): work, money, bills, car ownership, housing.

This seems like a really handy book for teens, including those who might be neurodivergent. I have a 13-year-old with ASD and ADHD and I’m keen to find resources to support them as they transition into adulthood. This book covers a lot of useful topics, like personal hygiene, socialising, dealing with money and keeping on top of things like tidying. Honestly, I wish I had a handy guide like this when I was younger! It’s pitched pretty well and doesn’t feel patronising or too “babyish”, but it’s also not overly complicated. I definitely know some adults who would benefit from giving this a read!

Although not UK-specific, this book contains the information I wish I’d known as a teen myself. It gently guides the reader through the key habits needed to succeed in life, and includes those issues that weren’t even dreamt of when most parents were themselves teenagers, in addition to to those topics that are difficult to raise – perhaps offering the answers for parents too.
As a professional working in mental health for young people I feel that it contains all the topics I wish I had time to cover during my clinic encounters. Highly recommended.
