Wow, I'm looking at the blog, Code Name Insight, and thinking, "Where does he get the time each day to create items of such quality?" This is what I wish my blog could be like.
The article that first drew my attention was 11 Preparedness Tasks for Teens.
For your typical teen, adulthood is a disaster waiting to happen. Here are some recommendations from Code Name Insight:

• Give them a month's worth of allowance at one time to teach about budgeting and making money last.
• Have them take a self defense class.
• Require Chores to teach them responsibility.
• Encourage them to take on a big project or do something by themselves like traveling overseas, on the subways or camping overnight in the woods.
• Cook dinner for the family once a week.
• Learn basic needs like ironing, washing, shopping the sales, etc.
• Creating a little business to lean entrepreneurial skills
• Participate in community education classes like First aid, wilderness survival, swimming, etc. Learn the joy of learning.
• Volunteer. Learn to help others.
