[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 116101, member: 1514"] I think you need to figure out just which life skills you want to work on and make lists to deal with that you think are reachable goals for her level. Helping to learn how to do laundry and which products you feel work the best, last the longest, are the best buy for the dollar...that is a good one. Showing her in the grocery store how to spot bargains and how the stores place impulse items is a teaching moment. You could teach her about debit cards with a prepaid visa card from walmart. Much better than wracking up credit card charges. One friend of mine pulled the old Bill Cosby routine and paid his kids with monopoly money and charged them rent and utilities to show them how far paychecks really went. [/QUOTE]
