While this term has been around a while, there have never been as many young adults that meet this label as there is now. While there is no official clinical definition, researchers who study this group of young adults generally categorize someone as a highly dependent adult child if they are:

• Not in school, working, or actively looking for work (though physically capable of doing so) 🏫

• Financially dependent on their parents for housing and other necessities 💸

• Emotionally reliant on parents (i.e., needing constant reassurance that they are okay)  😕

Is there anything you'd add to this definition?

Welcome to our group Raising Future Adults Group! A space for us to connect and share with each other. The purpose for this site and book is to ensure that our children grow up to be independent, socially adept, mentally health adults. You'll find many of the ideas and themes are based on some traditional (Gen X) habits like children learning how to solve their own problems, deal with natural consequences of their own actions and focus on their social life as much as their academic life.

So welcome! And let's raise future adults!
