Planning Your Child's Future - Transitioning from Child to Adult (Cerebra)

The days are long, but the years are short. Words that I never truly understood until my daughter arrived. They will always be our children, but in a flash, they become teenagers and then young adults.

We can never start planning for our children’s future and their transition from child to young adult too early. As babies and toddlers, we can predict their needs, pre-empt their troubles, and cuddle them when they are sad. But as they grow older, some of those needs are not so predictable, and it can be more about helping them find the right path and giving them all the resources they need to help them along that journey.

The transition into adulthood actually starts much earlier than many of us believe – or like to admit! We all think of adults as being those aged over 18, and yes, that does signify adulthood, but those aged 16 and 17 years, are recognised as young people in their own right.

What to consider when planning your child's future.
