Failure to launch: why your twentysomething hasn't grown up...and what to do about it
Description
Young adults who fail to successfully transition from adolescence into adulthood can't hold a job, they struggle to develop meaningful relationships, and they often end up back in their parents' spare bedroom or on the couch. In fact, studies show that 1 in 4 Americans aged 25 to 34 neither work nor attend school, and it's a problem that spans all socioeconomic and geographic boundaries. McConville investigates the root causes of this problem: Why are modern kids "failing to launch" in ever-increasing numbers? The key, McConville has found, is that they are struggling with three critical skills that are necessary to make the transition from childhood to adulthood—finding a sense of purpose, developing administrative responsibility, and cultivating interdependence. McConville breaks these down into achievable, accessible goals and offers a practical guide for the whole family, to help parents instill those skills in their young adults—and to get their kids into the real world, ready to start their lives.
