Teach Your Kids & Teens Life Skills

Finances Track

“Really liked the panel discussion aspect. Please do more of these! We learned how to multiply a tip, tipping can be a big deal for a person’s wages, when and where to tip, and that we should tip well and be courteous.”

Entrepreneurship Track

“At first my kids weren’t super excited about the idea of this, but so many of the topics were interesting enough and the [teachers] were engaging enough that they were willing to at least listen. Then, once they found a challenge that intrigued them they were hooked! We had a great time together as a family and several of those life skills have popped up since then. We have cleaned and tuned up bikes, everyone ordered confidently at a restaurant this week, and we’re having lots of fun discussions about entrepreneurship ideas.”

Tech Savvy Track

“Extremely well planned and really fun to watch. I would give it six stars if I could.”

Cooking & Gardening Track

“I was blown away by the quality of most of the workshops! So much ‘meat’ in such a short time! Our 9 year old daughter made so many great things in the kitchen even though I couldn’t help! I thoroughly enjoyed the Parent Professional Track as well as the Wellness track. So many presenters were able to create powerful presentations in only 5-15 minutes.”

Independent Basics Track

“My kids and I had so much fun. They loved the variety of skills presented and watched all they were interested in even if it was geared for an older age. I loved the chance for them to explore beyond what I can give them without it taking much time! The skills learned were motivating- even my 4 year old wanted to”fight the strain monster” and ASKED to do laundry! The confidence the kids had after learning to start a conversation with someone encouraged them- and I learned a new skill too!”

Hands-on Track

“I found that my [bike] seat post was very stuck, so I lubed it, and it now moves up & down much better when I need to adjust it. This was a super informative workshop, and I can’t wait to do a thorough cleaning of my bike. I might even offer to do my parents’ bikes, too, as a little side income!”

Minds-on Track

“My 13-year-olds loved this workshop! Joey did a great job delivering really helpful info while also making them laugh all the way through it. One of my kids said this is the best workshop she has watched so far! Very high praise from a teenager! “

Wellness Track

“Ad free, family friendly, and practical real life skills we can all use! Incredible! “

Organization Track

Communication Track

“We had them practice ordering ice cream at a restaurant and the food service worker took the time to thank us for teaching our kids all the steps in how to order food properly. As a parent it never hurts to have help in teaching these important life skills!”

Neurodivergence: Family Track

Parent Professional Development Track

“Love this. I felt like this video was made for me on a personal level! It spoke to me so deeply. Thanks for all the wisdom.”

Preschool Parent Track

Whenever you choose! You’ll get an email with instructions to allow you to begin whenever it best fits your family schedule. You’ll get a full month to enjoy the 100 #LifeSkillsNow Season Three workshops.

We don’t really want our tiniest children on screens, BUT we have a track for parents of preschoolers (age 2-5) to give you practical ideas for them with plenty of hands-on activities. We also have plenty of workshops for kids ages 5+ including food (bonding time with a parent!), gardening, cleaning, and emotional skills.

As a mom of two teens and an almost-teen, I hear you. They’re a tough group. That’s why I invited Crystal Paine to teach a Parenting Track workshop just for parents of teens about how to connect with them!

I also know that they desperately need practical life skills, which is why Season Three includes a HUGE focus on teen needs: auto maintenance, compound interest, taking control of one’s own health, avoiding getting tricked by social media, even organizing personal info beyond memorizing your SSN. It’s a TON of good stuff, and we hear from many families of teens year after year sharing feedback like this: “My kids loved this! They usually smell self-help stuff and run, but they found this super engaging and were asking to watch the videos!”

All of our workshops are labeled with an age group “and up” so no one feels like they’re too old to learn…including some of us adults who may have missed some life skills in our days!

At least 40 workshops are great for that age group, which is plenty to keep your kids busy! The focus for our elementary kids is particularly on the kitchen, garden, communication, and cleaning.

Each camp leader has their own unique style, but everyone speaks directly to the kids/teens in a pre-recorded, edited video (except for the parent workshops), introduces their life skill, teaches practically how to do it, and delivers a “mission” at the end.

The mission is a concrete action step that can be accomplished in 5-15 minutes within the next 1-2 days. Let’s give those kids some knowledge and then get them off the screen and implementing in the real world!

Access to workshops will be inside a password-protected membership area so there aren’t any ads, interaction with people you don’t know, or distracting sidebar “play next” features.

The workshop pages simply include the video, a printable handout or checklist to follow along, a mission, and the workshop teachers’s bio and “learn more” links. For select workshops that are more verbal and less visual (mostly teen and grown-up workshops), transcripts are provided (with your paid purchase only).

Almost everything, except our purpose! We have over 100 workshops in Season Three and no repeats from previous seasons.

You’ll see 13 returning camp leaders, all previous favorites with 100% new material, plus plenty of Mrs. Kimball and her kids with new recipes and other helpful life skills.

What remains the same is our commitment to bringing vital life skills to kids, teens, and grown-ups via a short time on a screen and then an actionable mission step to take them out into the real world.

YES! Large families, neighborhood gatherings, daycare/summer care centers have all enjoyed #LifeSkillsNow workshops.

No, not with Choose-Your-Own-Month access. However, you DO get to download all the handouts as one PDF workbook + answer keys, which will save a ton of time hopping into one lesson after another. You also get transcripts for those workshops that aren’t as visual.

If you purchase the full non-expiring access, downloading the videos is such a great option for travel (more productive than a movie on a long drive) or if you have poor Internet or simply don’t want your kids online.

Access lasts for 31 days starting the day you choose to begin. Your time window to start your month never expires.

No, our terms and conditions require you to use your #LifeSkillsNow Season Three login solely for personal use, BUT you can definitely share your login with all your children for their own devices, AND you’re welcome to invite friends over to take the workshops with you at your house.
