Why Life Skills Matter
As a parent of three boys, I’ve witnessed firsthand how transformative life skill practice can be for our entire family!
Regularly learning life skills will help your child:
- Learn how to take care of themselves and their space
- Grow up well-rounded, confident, and capable of doing SO MUCH
- Think critically, actively problem solve, and love to try new things!
- Contribute to the household and even ask if they can help!
- Discover a balanced, holistic view of success (that’s not just sports and grades)
- Feel proud of what they can do without you doing it for them
From simple tasks like tying your shoes or making a return, to bigger ones like ordering food or speaking up at the doctor, these skills build a lifelong sense of independence (and take some of the burden off your shoulders)!
Here’s what’s inside
Here is exactly what you’ll get.
25 Life Skills Cards with real-world tasks that help kids grow independence, confidence, and capability.
An XP (aka experience points) Scorecard for kids who love tracking progress and gamifying everyday activities.
Detailed Back with tips for adapting each task to your child’s age, readiness, or learning style.
These cards give you a simple, flexible way to build life skills into everyday life!!
A Few Skills You’ll See Inside
- Peeling a vegetable
- Returning a library book
- Cooking a frozen pizza
- Calling for takeout
- Making an in-store return
- Fixing a toy instead of tossing it
- Speaking up at the doctor or dentist
- Buying a gift within a budget
- Asking a parent how to be helpful
Each card includes a parent-friendly note so you can scale the skill for your child’s age and stage.
Planting these seeds now will grow into self-sufficiency later.
Let the Games Begin!
I don’t know about your kids… but mine are much more interested in learning when it feels like play.
That’s why these cards come with a built-in layer of fun!
Each task earns XP points (that’s gamer-speak for “experience points”) and your child can track their progress on the included scorecard.
Perfect for kids who love a little friendly competition (either with themselves or a sibling).
And if your child prefers to skip the scorekeeping? No biggie. They’ll still win!
These cards are your kid’s new superpower!
(and your new secret sidekick…)
Your child gets to build confidence, stretch their independence, and take on real responsibilities in a way that feels playful and empowering.
You get a little more breathing room, a little less mental load,
and a front-row seat to watching them spread their wings!
Who doesn’t love a win-win? ❤️
