My Thoughts:
Wow! I loved this book.
When I saw the book my first thought was I've got to get this book. My daughter just recently graduated from college and as I was sitting in the auditorium the thought that hit me was, "This is it! She's grown." Then the panic set in. Yes, major panic. I began thinking of all the things I had possible forgot to teach her or even talk to her about. Honestly this may sound ridiculous to some, but others know exactly what I'm talking about.
There are "life" lessons we start teaching our children from day one and continue this process as they grow. Occasionally we forget one or maybe it hasn't come up in conversation, so this was what was going through my mind on her graduation day. When my book arrived, which was after her graduation, I saw so many things listed that I had forgotten (how to clear a clogged drain, how to change a tire, how to iron a shirt, how to create a budget, etc.). As you can imagine, yes my daughter is the new owner of this book and she loved it. There are areas we've covered, but there are some we've not so it's perfect for her.
Let me begin by saying this book is perfect for girls from middle school to adults. It is divided into 10 chapters:
-Guys & Dating
-Social Skills & Manners
-Work & Ethics
-Wealth & Money Management
-Health & Beauty
-Clothes & Fashion
-Sports & Recreation
-Cars & Driving
-Food & Cooking
Tools & Fix-It
Each chapter is well written and easy to understand with a "Did You Know" box included at the end of each section. This is a book that will build confidence when you know what is the expected, the proper way to do things and just basic knowledge to navigate areas in your life.
This is a book I would recommend to anyone. It's perfect as a gift or even to keep for yourself. I must admit I wish this book had of been around when my daughter was much younger.
