Your child may be getting older—but are they becoming ready for life?

Many young adults leave home with good grades but without the practical skills, resilience, confidence, and character needed to thrive in the real world. Parents sense it. Employers see it. Young people feel it.

In Raising Children Capable of Leaving Home, Frank M. Fornaca and William C. Hampton argue that the goal of parenting is not to raise children who depend on you, but adults who no longer need to. Drawing on research, real-life stories, and decades of experience, the authors introduce the ReadiKids® Life Readiness System—a practical framework for building responsibility, resilience, character, and essential life skills at home.

Whether your child is five or fifteen, it's not too early—and not too late—to begin.

Because academic success is important.
But life readiness is essential.
