Ready, Set, Go for Independent Living Ruth Herman Wells, M.S Adobe Acrobat Format US$ 15.

This is the one book that has everything you need to prepare youth to succeed on their own.

It is also the perfect choice for anyone who works with students who "know it all already" or believe that your setting has nothing of value to offer them.

If your youngsters believe that your setting is "a waste of time," then buy this book right away because it has lessons to convince them that they can't even make it through the morning without the service that you offer.

While this book is a great resource for youngsters who believe they are ready to be on their own, but are really not ready, the lessons also powerfully teach independent readiness skills like securing housing, keeping housing, interacting with property managers, budgeting, and eating in a healthy manner.

Even the emotional problems that can occur during the transition to independence are covered in a pro-active way that can prevent the types of transition problems that often occur in the first days of independence.

The book includes the character "Independence Man," who teaches skills in a way that engages even the most negative, difficult, uncooperative, "I know it already," youth into benefitting from the lessons.

This book is a must-have for anyone who works with adolescents or children who believe that they are all ready to live on their own.
