All the most important life lessons you would have passed on to your kids if only you'd had a bit more time
Life is full of valuable lessons, yet none more so than those passed from parent to child. Whilst mothers and fathers always mean to pass on their esteemed nuggets of wisdom, time and practicalities often get in the way. The time to fly the nest comes around quickly, and some of those lessons may come in handy.
50 Things I Wish I Told You: Life Skills captures all of these intentions, from practical lessons on how to make a bed, how to iron a shirt and how to rent your first flat to personal advice on the perfect handshake and making small talk. These are the lessons that would have been passed on had there been a few more hours in the day.
Including amusing guides on how to curb bad habits and invaluable tips on keeping a plant alive, the book is illustrated throughout by artist Laura Quick, with her characteristic drawings both poignant and comical.
This book at once reassures, encourages, enlightens and amuses and is the perfect gift for any parent who didn't quite have enough time to declare all of their wisdom.
