Aunts, uncles and godparents
Be the one who gave the gift that actually mattered.
Teens listen to their aunts, uncles and godparents in a way they never listen to their parents. Jumpstart Your Life gives you 101 short lessons to pass along, and an easy reason to talk about them.
Written by two cousins who learned from the whole family.
You are the trusted adult who is not mom or dad.
You get the honest version. The teen in your life tells you things they would never tell their parents, and they take your advice more seriously because of it.
That is a big opportunity, and it is easy to waste on another gift card.
Nick and Vince are cousins. They know how much the extended family shapes a kid, and they wrote this book to be passed around a family like yours.
Lessons that land better coming from you
Plus 98 more across relationships, romance, wealth, health, diet, hygiene, work, education, influence and ethics.
Why it is a good fit for you to give
- It is not a lecture
- You get to be the fun one and still pass along something useful.
- It opens doors
- Ask which lesson they disagreed with. That is where the good conversations are.
- Works for many milestones
- Birthdays, confirmations, graduations, or just because.
- Ships anywhere
- Order on Amazon and send it straight to them, even across the country.
Make it yours
- Mark the lesson you wish someone had given you at their age and write why in the margin.
- Text them a week later: "Which one was the best?"
- Offer a deal: read three lessons and you will take them out to talk about them.
