Is your child world ready?
It’s no doubt our world has changed, and our lifestyles are more hectic and fast-paced
than ever before. Coupled with the failures, peer problems, disappointments, etc., that
children run into along the way, it makes it hard for parents to sit on the sidelines and
just let things happen. And often, parents feel a sense of guilt for not having more time
with their children, so doing more gives them a sense of relief and creates what they
think is a moment of connection with their child. However, when children do not have
to face everyday life challenges and are not given opportunities to learn daily life skills,
they will be forced to depend on their parents even into adulthood. Dr. Mel Levine,
author of “Ready or Not, Here Life Comes,” refers to this as the gateway to “work-life
unreadiness.”
