How to Be Independent

Independent Life Skills for Teens
(Ages 16-18)

Independent thinking starts with thoughtful reflection.
At Shiminly, we believe independent living begins with self-awareness. In this self‑paced course, learners explore real-life micro-scenarios—like managing your first paycheck or balancing responsibilities—to practice the core independence skills. Through interactive decision-making tasks, reflective prompts, and personalized action planning, students strengthen emotional self-support, financial savvy, and personal responsibility. By the end, they emerge with clear goals, increased confidence, and the tools to make thoughtful choices, stand accountable, and move forward with autonomy.
