In Student Life Skills, Paul Sweetow provides useful tools for parents and teachers to help children learn skills for coping with their feelings in different life situations involving school, family and friends. I highly recommend the book to parents and teachers who want to help children develop resilience so that each child can deal easily with hardships that come along.

As a veteran and clinician working with the military, I understand that the relationship with our children are critically important for the emotional wellness of both the child and the parent. Student Life Skills provides actionable tools and strategies for parents to help their children in areas of: increasing happiness, reducing stress and anger, building grit and resilience, succeeding in school, and enhancing relationships with family and friends. I highly recommend Student Life Skills to all military parents.

As a teacher and a parent, I found Student Life Skills to be incredibly effective. The life skill lessons took, just a minute to learn and use. Then I would refer back to those lessons using the Key Words or Key Questions when real-life circumstances called for them. Student Life Skills is more like a reference source that allows you to go directly to the skill you want to use. My kids were always willing to read the lesson because the color illustrations were appealing and they noticed it was just a short passage for them to read. The worksheets that accompany each lesson were fun for them; I highly recommend this course for all parents and teachers.

As a father of 3 and grandfather of 1, I found this program easy to use and full of great ways to counsel your children as they grow. I wish I would have had this information when my children were younger. In today's social media driven, anxiety filled world the techniques the author uses are easy to follow and very helpful. One of the more frustrating things about parenting is not having ready answers when your children need help. This book gives you concrete easy steps to help you child when they need it most.
