Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Great guide to help young boys and girls
As a parent, finding the right resources to guide my child through the complexities of growing up can be overwhelming. "Essential Life Skills Every 12-Year-Old Needs to Know" has been an absolute game-changer for both me and my child.
Firstly, the audiobook's format is perfect for busy family schedules. My child listens to it during car rides or while winding down before bed, which makes learning these vital skills feel more like entertainment than education. The narrator has a warm, engaging voice that captivates young listeners, making the content accessible and enjoyable.
The content itself is incredibly well-curated. It covers a broad spectrum of skills, from basic etiquette and personal hygiene to more complex areas like managing emotions, building resilience, and even basic financial literacy. Each chapter is clearly segmented, allowing for easy revisiting of topics without losing continuity.
What I particularly appreciate is how the book balances gender inclusivity. It doesn't shy away from discussing topics pertinent to both boys and girls, providing a holistic approach to life skills education. This inclusivity ensures that my child feels these lessons are tailored for them, regardless of gender.
The real-world examples and scenarios used throughout the audiobook are relatable and encourage practical application. My child has already shown improvements in their problem-solving skills and interpersonal relationships, which speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the advice given.
Moreover, the interactive elements, where listeners are prompted to think or act on certain advice, have been a brilliant touch. It turns passive listening into an active learning experience, which is invaluable at this age.
In conclusion, this audiobook is not just a tool for my child's personal development but also a resource for me as a parent to understand better what my child is going through and how I can support them more effectively. I highly recommend this to any parent looking to equip their young ones with the tools they need to succeed in life. It's an investment in their future, and I wish I had something like this when I was growing up.

Not bad
I liked this book because it gives good tips for kids my age. It talks about how to be more confident and how to make friends easier. There are also fun activities to do, which makes it more interesting. It helped me learn about handling money and dealing with problems. I think it’s great for anyone who wants to be better at stuff like school.

Fun and Engaging
I purchased the audible book and I enjoyed that it is written and in such a way that the adults and the kids want to listen. It’s fun, interesting and very relatable for kids. Especially Loved Ninja of Nice and sibling Superstars!! Well done!

A Must-Have for Tweens
This book is packed with practical advice for kids at a critical age. My 12-year-old found it engaging and easy to follow, and I loved how it covered important life skills in a relatable way. From problem-solving to building confidence, it’s a guide that helps kids feel prepared for real-world challenges. It’s not preachy or overwhelming—just simple, actionable tips they can use right away. Highly recommend for parents who want to set their kids up for success!
