[quote=Anonymous]Teach them to love learning, make them choose ECs they genuinely like and wish to put the effort into, and provide an understanding of what things cost in this world. I think the rest is up to them. We try to ground DD in reality, give her freedom as she is ready and is age-appropriate, and facilitate a lot of discussions around values, her choices, colleges etc. We tell her we give her opportunities but that is it; what she does with them is on her and has consequences. DH and I have degrees and already went through a lot of schooling. She needs to do the same and figure out what she likes and can make a living doing so she can support herself as an adult. I recently read The Disengaged Teen as well -- and recommend it. Good luck! [/quote]
