Father of 5 kids (Amazon Review)“We use this book with grades 1-3. A few of the younger kids need some help with the vocabulary which can stretch them a bit at times but most of our children in 2-3 are fine with it on their own. How much they learn varies with each child but the benefits of setting goals and working with others are clear throughout. I would recommend it to any K-12 educator or home-schooler wanting to introduce children to these life skills.” Gill Kendrick. Head Teacher
