Life Skills Challenge

 

The Post Rock District Life Skills Challenge is interactive learning for youth that lasts a lifetime. The first challenge, When Life is Tough, shares key tools to cope with stress. Future challenges will teach lessons on savings accounts, reading, leadership, and more.

Each life skill features a cartoon story, quiz, educational video, and downloadable interactive worksheet. Tackle one or all of the challenges with a single, no cost registration.

Teen Babysitting Resources

Visit the K-State Research and Extension website, https://www.ksre.k-state.edu/families/suddenly-in-charge/, to find helpful resources to support tweens and teens with roles taking care of younger children. The Suddenly in Charge effort was developed during the pandemic when families have been forced to make quick adjustments to routines. The resources focus on safety, activities, food, and more. They are valuable for a pre-planned or last-minute-planned babysitting experience. In addition to the website, there is an e-mail subscription available for regular updates and tips.
