Adulting

 A former Stanford University dean has noticed gaps in the maturity of college students. Here are those gaps . . and what you parents can do for your teenagers while still at home:

  1. They can't positively engage with strangers - teach them to approach strangers respectfully and with eye contact
  2. They don't know how to get around independently - give them experiences with transportation
  3. They can't manage their schedules - help them figure it out in high school
  4. They don't know how to contribute to the running of a household - give them responsibilities
  5. They are helpless in conflict - don't solve all their relationship challenges for them
  6. They can't bounce back after trouble - let them fail sometimes
  7. They can't earn and manage money - let them have a part time job in hs
  8. They think someone else will plan and run their lives - let them make decisions and enjoy the consequences
