| Publisher Description: Addressing the gap between life at home with all its comforts and that of an independent adult, Keys to Independence takes a critical-thinking approach to help young adults not just survive but also to thrive on their route to independence. This is a collaborative project among three parents, also educators, who share the motivation to prepare students for life challenges. This book offers a practical guide for both students and parents. It offers well-researched information to enhance discernment and sound decision-making, and it gives tips on basic skills like money management, reading food labels, cooking balanced meals, staying organized, domestic engineering, getting a job, and more. Packed with culturally neutral information to reinforce those expanding life skills, as well as lists of handy tips and tricks, Keys to Independence provides the tool kit necessary to help keep university, and the years beyond, enriched with positive experiences. It empowers students during the transition from home and school to university and independence. |
