No class necessary: ‘adulting’ begins at home

6/12/2019

 
Picture
I’ve written a lot about the idea that hovering over or paving the way for our children does more harm than good for their long term development. This week's column in Jackson Hole News and Guide looks at this idea more specifically. We know what’s not good for our kids, but what does that look like in real life, and what can we do instead? 
​
Studies show that people in their early 20s now often act more like teens, and young teens often act more like children. Why is this? 

This week's column considers how we can let our children and teens become masters of their own destinies, so to speak, in developmentally appropriate ways that teach them skills without us having to nag, remind, or do things for them.
