Greetings Fellow Parents of 20-somethings

We all do the best we can to get our kids ready to leave the nest

​​​​

According to a recent Pew Research study, 86% of parents of young adults felt they had done a great deal or at least a fair amount to prepare their children to be independent adults.

However, that same study found that only 66% of young adults felt their parents had prepared them to be independent adults.

So maybe the kids aren’t as prepared as we thought.

And if they're not, there are surprisingly few trustworthy sources of wisdom they can turn to for guidance.

But now there’s a way to help fill in the gaps.

Things Your Mom Should Have Told You is a weekly online newsletter that delivers an instruction manual for life a week at a time

It covers everything from love and relationships to careers to getting your shit together.

TYMSHTY offers:

 

  • Guidance for handling situations that tend to crop up in young adulthood

  • Sensible wisdom to consider when confronted with dilemmas

  • Food for thought about the Big Picture of building a life

  • Practical information about things you need to know to fend for yourself

  • Snippets from the Books of Wisdom collection I’m curating

 

Past issues are archived on the Things Your Mom Should Have Told You website, so you can go check it out for yourself.

You can’t prevent the struggles your child will face as a young adult, but you can help ensure they’re prepared

 

Things Your Mom Should Have Told You helps 20-somethings learn the ropes of adulthood and equips them to build the kind of meaningful life they’ve always wanted. And with the information delivered a week at a time, there’s less chance of overwhelming your favorite 20-something.
