Life Skills

Academic subjects matter, but so do the everyday skills that help kids thrive beyond school. Our Life Skills collection gathers resources that help homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers teach practical competencies such as time management, organization, self-advocacy, cooking, financial literacy, communication, and basic home or community responsibilities. You’ll find curricula, project-based guides, and tutors or coaches who work directly with kids and teens on executive function and independence. Every resource is vetted for developmental appropriateness, secular and evidence-aligned content, and respect for neurodiversity, recognizing that many learners—especially ADHD, autistic, or 2e kids—need explicit support in these areas. Use the filters to explore by skill focus (executive function, money, household skills, self-care), age range, and format (books, courses, coaching, or hands-on activities). Many families pair these materials with traditional academics to create a more holistic education. If you’re not sure which life skills to prioritize or how to teach them, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you choose starting points tailored to your child.
