Bravo! The primary responsibility of parenthood is to prepare your children to run their own lives, we hope in an empathetic way. The three qualities they need to be successful is the ability to delay gratification, the ability to do something they do not want to do and to match their skills sets to a job. All of your 10 goals help achieve that as well as the ability to problem solve. Today we are in a mental health crisis and young adults are not taking care of themselves. Thirty percent of 35 year olds still live at home and half of 35y/o receive over $1,000/month from home. That isn’t being successful.
I love this! We have been talking a lot about being capable and being resilient. We have had lots of twists and turns in our life and want our kids to thrive not struggle when things don’t go their way. I love your list!
So agree with you on all of these, Mollie! Great post, sharing! 🙌
Thanks Brooke! I’m reminded every day of opportunities for pushing our kids in healthy, age-appropriate ways so it’s been on my mind a lot!
Great read! I feel like I am reading my own thoughts! I love it 🩷
Thanks! Glad you feel similarly 😊
This is everything that I’m working with my son on! Thank you for sharing!
That’s awesome! 🙌 it’s a slow but steady journey.
