[quote=Anonymous]It's very important to us to raise kids who are resilient and self-sufficient - at home, work, and school. Ideally, we'd like our kids to be able to survive and thrive on their own (if they had to) at 18. DH and I are both very independent and capable, but we came about these qualities the hard way. Both of us had very challenging childhoods and were financial contributors to our families at very young ages. We are now very well off, though in an upper NW (not Potomac) sense. How do middle- and upper-middle class families teach their kids to "adult" without the experience of really serious hardship? I'm kind of a Hermione so book recommendations are especially welcome.[/quote]
