Welcome to kidsoutnow.com!

   This site is dedicated to the parents of young adults who are perplexed and frustrated about their kids who have not left the nest and moved into their own home and into a sense of adult independence. These "Kids" are sometimes referred to as twixters, thresholders, kidults, boomerang kids, moochers, bums, and many other not so flattering names. This is a social phenomenon that is world wide and so far there is no help. You may have seen the latest movie ("Failure to Launch") which makes light of this subject. TV shows such as "Good Morning America" and "Dr. Phil" have devoted complete segments to this topic. In fact, Dr. Phil says it is his number 1 request for help. There is even a Fast Food commercial that deals with this subject called "Ready to go". But no one has developed a system for parenting adult children to independence until now. And the good news is that with focus, your young adult can be on the road to independence within six months or less!

   What you may not realize is that you are the key! No one taught us how to move our grown children into success. The biggest falsehood is that if you get them to college you are done. About 18 million young adults are still sitting at home even after college! With the added burden of taking care of grown children, your dreams of time to do what you would like are gone. Where are those vacations, those interests, and hobbies you want to enjoy before your kids take care of you? Finally, there is help!

• A college education will help my child become successful and leave the house.

Not Really, Higher Education may provide your child more knowledge, but will not provide him/her with the tools to find their way in the "real world" including creating resumes and work experiences.

• I can provide everything my child will need until he/she is ready to leave the home.

What you aren't providing your children are the tools of independence, self worth and confidence, all essential for becoming healthy adults ready to take care of themselves.

• My child will leave my home when he/she is ready. My son/daughter just needs a little more time.

The truth is that you should be preparing your child for independence in their early teens. They are ready and they need it. I can help you catch up now.
