Preparation For
Life's Journey
Hi it's DAve
Having just completed the recent project of tips and hints I thought that it might be useful to take a slight change of direction and look at a new topic.
That said this week I am going to provide a few pointers towards helping your child through the transition towards independence as they move forwards on their life’s journey.
So the object of this post is to provide information that is designed to help create a good foundation (in life) for our children as they prepare to move into the next stage of their developing lives. It is my opinion that there at least 20 basic skills that every young person (irrespective of how they identify) needs before they begin their adventures in the "big wide world".
So here they are:-
1 how to use a map
2 how to swim
3 the value of money and how to use it wisely
4 cleaning the home
5 how to be organised
6 how to use a washing machine / iron etc.
7 ways to find a job
8. dealing with and overcoming failure
9. standing up for yourself
10 time Management
11 being a self-starter
12 financial management
13 cookery skills
14 road usage / driving safely
15 car maintenance (or where to get help)
16 summoning the Emergency Services
17 crisis advice / management
18 saving and financial management
19 coping with difficulty
20 the Citizen’s Advice service
Heading out into the world can be a great adventure but (without proper training and guidance) it can also be the source of many traps and dangers.
As parents, we owe it to our children to provide them with the best possible preparations for the great adventure they are about to begin.
It is our duty to ensure that by the time our offspring are ready to begin this new phase of their lives (the great adventure) they are responsible, respectful, caring and capable adults.
