    Resources for Teens & Life Skills

    All parents want their children to eventually become responsible, reliable adults. Instilling life skills in your child is essential in achieving this goal.

    Without the ability to make responsible choices and do everyday tasks (like preparing a meal), your child will never be truly independent. This page presents information and resources to help you guide your child into adulthood.
