About this book
ILLUSTRATED — 120 LESSONS, ONE PAGE A DAY
Does your child still glance at you before answering an adult who seems friendly?
Does it bother you that nobody at school will teach them how to get out of a group chat that turned mean, or what to do the first time a plan falls apart and you are not standing there?
You are not imagining it. Somewhere between ten and thirteen a child starts doing things alone — the walk home, the sleepover, the phone in their pocket — and the habits they build in those few years are the ones they carry into their teens.
"Raise a Street-Smart Kid" is not another talk. It is a twenty-week plan your child works through one page at a time, on their own.
Every lesson is a single page: a situation they recognize, a short explanation of what is actually going on, then The Rule worth keeping and one Try It Today action they can do before bedtime.
Here is what your child will find inside:
• Five Pillars, Twenty Weeks: Knowing Yourself, Reading People, Out in the World, Behind the Screen, and Real-World Independence — in that order, because the outside gets easier once the inside is steady.
• 120 One-Page Lessons: Three minutes each, written straight to your child in their own language, never about them over their head.
• 20 Weekly Challenges: A small task at the end of each week that moves the lesson off the page and into a real afternoon.
• The Rule and Try It Today: One line to remember and one thing to do the same day, at the end of all 120 lessons.
• Talk About It: A question at the foot of every page, for the car ride or the dinner table, on the days you want one.
• Built for Ages 10 to 13: The years when they want more freedom and still need a hand on the map. Practical, and never preachy.
• The Short Version: All twenty rules on two pages at the back, for the day they need reminding and you have thirty seconds.
Worried it will sit unopened on a shelf?
It was built against exactly that. One page a day, a tracker with 120 squares to fill in, and a place at the front for their name and the date they started — so the book belongs to them, not to you.
Six months from now your child comes home and tells you about the moment they walked away. They noticed. They decided. You hear about it afterwards, over dinner, instead of lying awake about it beforehand.
