How to Do (Almost) Anything

Growing up comes with many things nobody thinks to teach you.

How do you make a simple meal, manage your money, keep your space under control, handle a problem at school, or know what to do when you're home alone?

How to Do (Almost) Anything: Essential Life Skills for Kids Ages 9-12 is a friendly, practical guide to the everyday skills that help kids become more capable, confident, and independent. With clear explanations, useful tips, and a little help from Sage the Chihuahua, kids can learn how to handle real-life situations one skill at a time.

Inside, young readers will learn how to:

• Take care of themselves with everyday routines, personal care, and getting-ready skills
• Handle everyday responsibilities, including cooking basics, cleaning, laundry, and keeping their space manageable
• Get things done with organization, time management, school skills, and simple problem-solving strategies
• Build money smarts by understanding spending, saving, budgeting, and making thoughtful choices
• Stay prepared, not scared, with practical guidance for being home alone, handling emergencies, basic first aid, and knowing when to ask an adult for help.

Kids don't have to know how to do everything. They just need a place to start.

Give your child a practical guide they can return to again and again as they learn to handle more of life on their own.
