In 2012,
the number of 18- to 30-year-olds living with their parents grew to 20.7 million, a 3.9 percent gain from 2010.
In 1986, about half of parents reported that they had spoken with a grown child in the past week. In 2008, 87 percent said they had.
In 1988, less than half of parents gave advice to a grown child in the past month, and fewer than one in three had provided any hands-on help. Recent data show that nearly 90 percent of parents give advice and 70 percent provide some type of practical assistance every month.Two trendsSlide4

Coaching towards Autonomy
Helen Johnson,
author of “Don’t Tell Me What To Do, Just Send Money,” suggest that parents think of themselves as coaches. Slide20
Keeping a Balance
Before becoming involved in a situation, ask yourself if it helps or hurts your child in the long run if they handle it themselves.
Ask yourself if your involvement is helping or hurting your child’s ability to become autonomous, independent and interdependent.
Ask how you can balance challenge and support to aid them in addressing the issues they face.Slide21

Get them InvolvedSlide27
Many give new students a piece of advice that seems sound, don’t get involved until you know you can handle the workload in the classroom.
This seems advisable, but has a clear flaw.
It is important to maintain balanced involvement.

While we may be tempted to encourage students to go for majors that make the most money, we have to remember their individual gifts.
Our personality type dictates where we get our energy.
If we do a job we hate for money, there will come a day when no amount of money is enough.
