8 Things No Kid Should Leave Home Without: Empower Your Teens to Be Successful on Their Own

May 4, 2011 Posted by

Joe McGee, author, life trainer, and former school administrator, reveals eight simple yet profound principles kids need to live successfully after they leave home. A parent’s time with their kids at home is limited and before they realize it, it will be the moment for their children to move out of the house. Although it’s important to spend quality time with our children–loving them and getting to know them–it’s also important to prepare them for living life on their own. Joe McGee gives parents eight powerful principles that go beyond vocation, ethnicity, religious background, or upbringing. They are simple things parents can give their kids to help them achieve a higher standard of living-a godly standard that will bring success and God’s blessings. These principles include: feeling secure in their self esteem, having vision for their future, understanding simple math, developing organizational and time management skills, learning to be humble, developing communication skills, having strong character, and embracing a sense of humor. In the popular parenting book Raising Great Kids by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, readers learn to develop six character traits in their children – attachment, responsibility, reality, competence, morality, and worship/spiritual life. McGee presents a more rounded approach still focusing some on character, but also on practical principles that kids need to know when they leave home including math and time management skills, communication, and humor.

A Big Box of Memories

Judy Delton is the author of more than 100 books for young readers.brAlan Tiegreen has illustrated many books for children, including all the Pee Wee Scout books.Old Lady Mollybrbr“This is an important year,” said Mrs. Peters to the Pee Wee Scouts. “Can any of you tell me why?”brbrThe Pee Wees all frowned as if they were thinking hard. Molly Duff had found that if she looked as if she were thinking very hard and did not put her hand up, she didn’t get called on. Especially at school in classes she was not good at, like math. She always had her hand up if it was a spelling lesson or reading, no matter how hard the words were.brbrBut now no one had their hand up to be called on. No one seemed to know why it was an important year.brbr“Easter?” said Tim Noon. “Or Memorial Day?”brbr“Every year has Easter and Memorial Day,” scoffed Rachel Meyers. “That doesn’t make it a special year. Just an ordinary one.”brbr“Was it the coldest year in Minnesota?” asked Mary Beth Kelly, who was Molly’s best friend. “My mom said it was the snowiest winter she could remember.”brbrMrs. Peters frowned. “It may have been,” she said. “But that’s not why this year is important.”brbr“Maybe it’ll be the warmest year,” said Tracy Barnes to Molly. “Last summer was so hot we went swimming every day.”brbr“It has nothing to do with the temperature,” said their leader mysteriously. “Think harder.”brbrThe Pee Wees did.brbr“I know,” said Tim Noon. “It’s the year my uncle got married!”brbr“Pooh,” said Sonny Stone. “My uncle got married too. That’s no big deal. People get married every day.”brbr“And divorced,” said Lisa Ronning. “That’s not news.”brbrThe Pee Wees tho?×=p£× ¾Û€
