Boomerang Kids: A Revealing Look at Why So Many of Our Children Are Failing on Their Own, and How Parents Can Help
Sourcebooks, 336p, Isbn-140224858X
Around the age of 18, most young people expect, and are expected to, move out and live on their own. But recent surveys conducted by financial experts TD Ameritrade and Mint reveal that 18 million adults are living with their parents, from recent grads to thirty somethings.
In this breakthrough book, Dr. Pickhardt exposes the hidden period of development that’s causing increasing numbers of adult kids to fail on their own and what parents can do to fix it. His new approach to understanding young adulthood proposes that, as a society, we expect 18- to 24-year-olds to have reached adulthood, when in reality, they’ve reached the final stage of adolescence: “trial independence.”
Boomerang Kids encourages parents to change their roles from managers (proving supervision and regulation) to mentors (providing advice—when asked).
