Essential Life Skills for Teens

Five Dynamic Principles Every Teen and Young Adult Must Know and Practice to Be Confident, Happy, and Successful in Relationships, School, and Life

De: Bernadette Greggory

Narrado por: Susanna Burney

Discover the practical life skills you need to meet your goals confidently and assertively.

When you’re a teen, it can feel like you have too many responsibilities, yet too little independence.

But know that you have the power to turn your life around by honing the life skills you need to bring the very best version of yourself to the world.

And if you are a parent, you can empower your child so they have a wide range of skills, the mindset they need to succeed at academics and make quality friendships, and enjoy a myriad of hobbies they feel passionate about.

This guide is specifically written to help teens and parents work together to discover:

• How seemingly “boring” tasks like cooking or doing the laundry are a source of empowerment and a fast track to maturity.
• That exercise is more than about fitness. It is one of the most powerful means to pulverize anxiety and nip stress and depression in the bud.
• Why teen brain development can make it harder to do things like control your impulses and emotions—and how you can outsmart your own brain.
• Why anger is actually a good thing—and how to harness it to help you make necessary positive changes.
• The way that empathy, acceptance, and forgiveness can make you a more grateful and giving teen.
• Five dynamic principles that will change your life forever

And much more.

You may feel that you are already too busy to add yet another commitment to your massive list of to-dos. However, every single exercise and suggestion in this book involves a relatively short time commitment in exchange for a far better life.

Imagine being able to cook, take care of a few things at home, communicate like a pro with friends and family, and know that your faith will ride you through even the toughest challenges in life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fabulous listen!

We listened to this on our road trip down to Florida, and there were so many lessons that I wish I had when I was a teen. I think it got our kids thinking about things that have never crossed their minds before. We especially like the section on boring tasks. We have conversations about that all the time. I also thought the section on anger was empowering for them! Highly recommend.

Empowering guide for teens and their parents!

This audiobook serves as an illuminating guide for teenagers, offering invaluable insights into their personal growth and future endeavors. It unveils the transformative power of unconditional love from parents, effective communication, goal setting, and emotional intelligence.

It serves as a literary gem that empowers both teenagers and their families with the wisdom, tools, and inspiration needed to navigate the complexities of adolescence and thrive in all aspects of life.

Empowering and A Valuble Reosurce

What I loved the most about this book is the connection with the audience and the ability to keep listeners engaged. The important topics discussed consisted of creating healthy relationships, succeeding in academics, and making good decisions. Learning emotional intelligence is something that is discussed. However, it was not taught to some growing up which was a plus.

Teens Empowered for Success

Inspires youth to create confidence, nurture happiness, and achieve success in numerous facets of life, including relationships, academics, and personal growth, by introducing dynamic ideas.

A must read for teens & parents.

I recently listened to an amazing audiobook called "Essential Life Skills for Teens." Trust me, and it's not just for teens—it's great for adults and parents too. This book is all about practical skills that can boost confidence and make you more capable in life. You know those teens who always seem to have it all together? Well, this book spills their secrets—confidence, a positive attitude, and practical skills. It tackles self-esteem issues and shows you how they affect teens. But here's the best part—it provides guidance on turning your life around and becoming the best version of yourself. From cooking and laundry to exercise and managing emotions, it covers it all. It even delves into basic manners that some parents may overlook or not know themselves. This book is a game-changer, my friend, and I highly recommend keeping it close as a handy handbook for reference. Trust me; you’ll want to revisit it often.

A refreshing listen

This was a gorgeous listen, presenting a well-rounded book for teenagers and young adults to better understand how to navigate some seemingly simple yet tricky aspects of life. The key principles presented really do act as a foundation to dealing well with everything that life can throw our way. I thought this was a refreshing guide for teens and would certainly recommend a listen.

Forever Skills

Bernadette Gregory is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. This is another Great Book!!! And the narration by Susanna Barney allowed us to use the acompanying PDF to take notes.

As parents of 3 teenage boys who are just reaching the dating age and preparing for life outside the nest my wife and i listened to this book with all 3 of them. The information contained in the book on how to beat stress and anxiety is really excellent. The chapters on what seem like menial tasks such as laundry and other household chores showed our boys why we are pushing them so hard to have those skills. But......

The section that all of us thought really hit home was how to control your impulses and emotions. Everyone said they knew this infor was going to make a real difference going forward.

This is a really great book and it is given the full family stamp of approval.

My kids found this very useful

As a parent of a 19-year old girl and 17-year old boy, I'm conscious that the world they live in is very different from the one from my teenage years. I'm also aware that everyone has to learn from their own mistakes, and that advice coming from me is not always likely to be on-boarded. So this book is great at getting kids thinking about their own future, rather than having it mapped out for them by parents and the education system. Thoroughly recommend.

Simply Amazing!

I really enjoyed this book. The chapter on Emotions brought me back to my teenage years when I was facing my own battles with raging hormones and emotions in tandem. The book is so clear throughout and as I listened this chapter it made me understand better, the pressures being experienced by today’s teens. The same chapter addresses the matter of self confidence. It is amazingly holistic—covering a whole range of issues that adversely impact self confidence.

The 5 dynamic life principles are amazing! The chapter encapsulates those qualities and attributes that teens so often lack. They are the qualities that today’s busy parents can easily overlook, yet those principles are pivotal to their success when teens are away from home. The author could not have done a better job. She covers everything that teens need to know and more, and she adds her personal touch by relating her personal story as she shares information about the relationship she maintains with her daughter. Her professional experience shines through.

And when I thought she could do no more, she presented some solid education for parents! Every parent should buy this audiobook for their teens and they should also listen to it themselves.

Very helpful!!

Greggory's empathetic approach is evident in her thoughtful, accessible writing. She masterfully weaves concrete advice with relatable anecdotes, making the complex universe of adolescence easier to navigate. The dynamic principles she outlines—while intended for teens—resonate with readers of all ages, reflecting universal truths about self-growth and personal achievement.

This book is empowering, educational, and, importantly, engaging. Greggory does not shy away from tackling challenging issues; instead, she provides teens with the necessary tools to handle such challenges. From building healthy relationships and managing academic stress, to fostering a positive self-image, she covers it all with refreshing honesty and wisdom.
