What are the life skills we hope our kids learn?
Financial skills, for sure…70% of parents in a new SWNS survey say that’s the most important (in fact, four of the top ten life skills were money-related):
- How to deal with stress
- How to budget
- How to deal with a broken heart
- How to save money
- How to pay bills
- How to drive a car
- Dealing with a mortgage
- How to take care of yourself on a night out
- How to change a tire
- How to be independent
What’s the #1 way kids learn life skills?
From their parents…so don’t always rely on schools to teach them what they need to make it in the “real world”.
