FAMILY LIVING
Why Parents Don’t Prepare Their
Children for Adult Life?
It’s 2015 an according to research statistics most parents still have their children
living with them past the age of 25 years
old.
Why has that become the norm? We have
found that it is because most parents can’t
relinquish, the idea of letting go of the
vision they had for that little baby who is
now an Adult. So parents send them to
local college in hopes of holding on to
them a little longer instead of preparing
them for life’s challenges. Some of the
challenges they will face are working
while going to college, needing to start a
401K before turning 21, looking at how
to manage your credit and consider buying home early in life to build you financial, portfolio etc., many would say that
is too much for a 18 year old or 21 year
old. We did our research and found that
those families who discuss financial strategies early with their children, those children, become financially successful earlier than those children who families who
avoid talking about financial strategies
with them, not preparing your children
for the different challenges they will face
and leaves them without the tools to manage their lives successfully which leaves
them powerless when it comes to growing in life and leaves them in fear of being able to manage their life as an adult.
The reality is that parents should
start preparing their children for the
real world by the time they are at
least 10 years of age. This takes the
fear out of being an adult simply
because, without preparation most
young adults are unaware of the responsibilities, of life and lack direction which causes them to wander through life and depend on
their parents to provide them insight to facing those challenges
they are uncertain about which the
parents must provide them some
form of information and tools.
Yet, again parents can not protect,
their children from making mistakes when they become adults, but
making sure that they have they
necessary information to make
proper choices and learning to live
with the consequences, of the
choice will help them to grow and
become responsible, productive,
adults and citizens the society and
world we live in today.
Train up a child. - Proverbs 22:6
