What They Don't Teach in School. The Most Important Things for Teenagers in One Book

This is an infographic book for children and teenagers.
***
A navigator for growing up wisely, which was so lacking in our childhood.
What would we have liked to know in childhood? What would we want our children to know? What is so important to discuss, but seems premature at 6 and could be late at 12, during the process of separation.

Many questions that shape a child's personality remain outside of the school curriculum and sometimes even home communication: Who am I, what is my value, what is my calling, do I have goals and how do I set them? What are emotions and how to cope with them, how to communicate, befriend, love, how to speak and listen so that one is heard.
School does not teach important life skills: how to be organized, give presentations, come up with something new, work in a team, manage a personal budget; how to understand one’s body and maintain health.

We have included answers to these and many other questions in this infographic book for young people aged 9 and above. Each spread introduces the child to the area of soft skills in an engaging visual form (almost a comic, but deeper), helping them to realize and start working on their own. Soft skills are formed throughout life, but especially actively during childhood, during the period of social connection formation.
