Parents and schools can better prepare children for a successful launch into adulthood, says Dr. Levine, by giving young people the skills they will need to thrive in the adult world. He suggests ways for schools to focus less on college prep and, instead, teach "life prep." He also recommends that parents balance their inclination to support their children with decisions that will offer them greater independence and help adolescents get a head start on a productive and successful adult life.
