Here’s a video I recorded for all the parents of high school seniors out there. Because now is the time to ask ourselves, “What skills does my kid need between now and the day they start college?” Do they know how to make their own doctor’s appointments? Do they know how to refill a prescription? Do they know where their insurance card is? Do they know how to maintain their car if they have one? Do they know how to do laundry, including treating stains? Start observing with your kid, and notice the things that they keep asking help for. And what things are you still doing for them? What skills does that then lead us to think about having them work on? It may be time for you to step back a little bit so they can step up and start offering tutelage on those things now.
