Skills we hope our kids learn

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):

  1. How to deal with stress
  2. How to budget
  3. How to deal with a broken heart
  4. How to save money
  5. How to pay bills
  6. How to drive a car
  7. Dealing with a mortgage
  8. How to take care of yourself on a night out
  9. How to change a tire
  10. 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”.
