Goals

1. To be able to have significant impact on your child between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two or so

2. To help your child out financially in a way that fits your budget

3. To alleviate financial pressure on a young adult who is trying to start out on his own/preparing for marriage

4. To phase into that next relationship level with your young adults in order to make your relationship strong

Considerations

1. Treat your child like any adult guest in your home

2. Spreading out work so that your “guest” does his share

3. Enforcing house rules upon an “adult”

4. Using a contract between parents and child if needed

5. When a child needs to move out

6. Creating strong bonds of relationship during this time

The post Podcast Notes for “College & Young Adult Kids Living At Home” appeared first on Character Ink.

Donna Reish, of Character Ink Press and Raising Kids With Character seminar and blog, brings you some answers to questions that have been submitted about college kids and young adults living at home. Most of the Reish children have lived at home for at least two years of their college years (or more), so Ray and Donna have some significant insights to help families help their young adults to become independent while still in their parents’ home. Donna elaborates on the importance of this time period–and how to be sure it is not ruined by miscommunication, mistreatment (i.e. treating the adult children like little kids), unrealistic expectations, too much freedom
that leads to taking improper advantage of the living situation, and much more. She also explains how they have enjoyed these years with their young adults immensely. Lastly, she offers a “rough draft” contract that parents can tweak and use to help their situation work out well for both the young adult and the parents/siblings at home.
