Creative Living Skills is a major revision of Creative Living that repositions the program to appeal to a wider audience. It is still the book for comprehensive courses at grades 10-12, but is also appropriate for management or independent living courses. This edition places additional emphasis on personal development, interpersonal skills and relationships, parenting, resource management, consumer skills, and daily choices related to food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

When used with upper-level students or independent living classes, pair Creative Living Skills with the new worktext, LIFE On Your Own, 0-07-861584-4. This worktext presents real-life situations students will encounter and provides practice dealing with them. Students work through this consumable book and then keep it for future reference. LIFE On Your Own can also be used as the primary text for a semester independent living course.
