I really like this book. Great advice. Good organization. Extremely helpful topics. Will add to my personal library as well.

As a parent and Teacher I really enjoyed this book. It’s focused on helping children become self aware of the emotions and thought processes so they can understand why their actions and words matter and how important it is to think through our decisions before acting.
Kids learn that self improvement and self discovery is a lifelong commitment and that it’s important to understand ourselves from an early age.
The topics are broken down into easily digestible sections and can easily be adaptable to the child’s age and understanding.
I’ve used it with my kids and was rewarded by how much work they put into the discussions. I highly recommend it.

The ultimate kids guide to life skills: 101+ practical tools for unlocking potential and broadening children's horizons for a brighter future by Grace Ann Grow is a fabulous book that each parent and teacher should have.
The chapters discuss important topics such as: discovering self-awareness, emotional intelligence journey, the art of social skills, valuing diversity, mastering problem solving, overcoming bullying, secrets of self discipline, mastering home responsibilities, secrets of a healthy lifestyle, basics of safety and emergency, journey through the world of technology, secrets of successful learning, basics of financial literacy, basics of survival and exploring nature, understanding environmental responsibility, contributing to society and the world, and your path to continuous self improvement.
The book targets children ages 8-12 and is written for them as well. It would be great to use in a classroom or to read with your kid at home. It also includes how to recognize the emotion, tips and tricks on how to handle it/work through it and some hands on activities.
Thank you Grace Ann Grow for partnering with NetGalley. I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

This book was really cute. I viewed it from the perspective of a parent of pre teens and a OT. 18 chapters that are thought out to cover topics such as financial literacy, digital safety, social skills, education, etc for 8-12 year olds. This book could be adapted into curriculum to strengthen lessons on such topics or pieces pulled for therapy. What I appreciate the most about it is how it thinks to cover things as adults we don’t consider. It brings the awareness back to topics that either our parents never considered teaching us or we picked up slowly as we aged. Thank you so much for allowing me to preview this book!

The ultimate kids guide to life skills is a wonderful resource and one we really need in current times to safeguard the mental health and wellbeing of our amazing young people!
Grace writes beautifully to ensure the content is accessible for children 8ish to read independently or have read to them.
The content is extensive and covers topics including finding your inner compass (getting to know and like yourself), emotional intelligence, social skills, diversity, problem solving, navigating bullying, health & safety (including digital/online safety) and many, many more vital skills.
I love the strategies given, and the examples given to really make them meaningful.
This is a lovely book to either read in whole or dip in and out of.
I applaud the author for producing such a wonderful and inspirational piece of work.
My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.
