Are we really setting our kids up for success in the real world? From burnt spaghetti to budgeting fails, this episode dives into the seven critical life skills every parent should teach their child before they fly the nest — unless you want them boomeranging back! This is the essential parenting checklist for raising capable, confident, and independent adults.
KEY POINTS
QUOTE OF THE EPISODE
“The goal isn’t to send them out perfect. It’s to send them out capable — and make ourselves redundant in the process.”
RESOURCES MENTIONED
ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS
1. Do a life skills audit — which of these seven has your child mastered?
2. Model these behaviours daily: routines, budgeting, cooking, conflict resolution.
3. Involve your child in real-life decisions (like comparing phone plans or budgeting for groceries).
4. Use mistakes as teachable moments, not failures.
5. Celebrate independence, even if it’s just cleaning the bathroom without being asked!
