so rocky for so many people.For parents, this situation can cause conflict as well.
Parents want their children to be happy and carefree, but they have to be careful not to
shelter their children from the "grown up" world too much. No parents want to see
their children suffer, and with a little foresight and planning, parents can make their
kids’ transitions into adulthood go a little bit smoother.Although childhood will always
be more fun and carefree than adulthood, it’s important for parents to have fun in their
own adult lives. Kids whose parents have friends, hobbies, and generally enjoy life will
have an easier time becoming adults themselves. That’s because their parents set an
example of how adults can have fun with life despite having to deal with jobs and
responsibilities. By contrast, if children see their parents constantly working,
complaining, and focusing on the past, they will not learn that adulthood can be fun
too. Parents who want to help their children's transition to adulthood should also
consider training them to accept responsibility from an early age. Kids who are given
total freedom are conditioned to love that freedom, and when they learn that the
working world requires more structure, they could have a difficult time adjusting. On
the other hand, kids who are engaged in lots of activities, who have regular chores, and
who take part-time jobs while they are still in school - those kids will be better
equipped to make the change to full-time work when they become adults.Almost no
one wants to work, particularly if they happen to have jobs they don’t absolutely love.
Most of us would rather be at home, relaxing with our families, or doing the things we
like to do. But work is a fact of life. We work so that we can afford the comfort and
luxury to provide our children with those carefreechildhoods we so value. If we want
our kids to have a healthy attitude toward adult responsibility, we should be thinking
ahead.
