One important task of teens is learning practical life skills, critical for personal and professional
success. Research indicates that life skills intelligence is as important as a teen's intelligence
quotient (IQ) and emotional intelligence. Teens depend on effective life skills every day. With
these skills they create a successful quality of life as they grow their inner resources.
Effective practical life skills help teens take charge and manage their lives in an increasingly
complex society. Life skills can help them manage change and work effectively with their
environments, their peers and other adults. The purpose of this workbook is to help teens
develop the critical life skills that will assist them in meeting the demands of everyday life in a
safe, mature and responsible manner.
The Teen Practical Life Skills Workbook contains five separate sections to help participants
learn more about themselves and the competencies they possess in many life skills areas.
