INAM 25-20 Summary – Your Child is More Capable Than You Know (Part 2)
Welcome back to It’s Not About Money, the money podcast for intentional parents!
In this episode, Charla and Matt dive into the second part of their series, exploring how you can help your child take on more responsibility as they grow from ages 11 to 18.
If you missed Part 1, where we discussed the younger age groups (2–10), check it out in the show notes.
Episode Highlights:
• Ages 11–13: Becoming Capable
Kids in this range are gaining independence and confidence. They can take on tasks like organizing common areas, doing their own laundry, mowing the lawn, and preparing simple meals. Charla and Matt emphasize that teaching these basic skills early helps build both capability and confidence.
• Ages 14–16: Household Manager
At this stage, kids can start managing more complex tasks like deep cleaning areas, grocery shopping with a budget, and even handling basic home repairs. Charla shares how this stage builds on the skills learned earlier, reinforcing responsibility for the whole household.
• Ages 17+: Almost Adults
As your child nears adulthood, it’s time for them to take on the full responsibility of managing their lives, from scheduling appointments to maintaining a household. Charla and Matt discuss how the goal is for kids to be ready for independent living—handling tasks like cooking, cleaning, and managing a budget, with the safety net of being under your roof.
Key Takeaways:
Age isn’t the only factor—maturity, capability, and attitude matter when assigning tasks.
Don’t wait to teach essential life skills. The earlier they learn, the more confident they’ll become.
Use this stage to prepare them for adulthood and set them up for success!
