• Twixters = 18-29 - live with their parents / not independent - cultural shift in Western households - when members of the nuclear family become adults, are expected to become independent
• How they describe themselves (ages 18-29) 61% an adult 29% entering adulthood 10% not there yet

Bottom line: with or without us- youth and families get older and will move on…Think what can make it easier; do what’s in your control and support youth to tackle what’s their control.
1. Start early
2. Ask and reinforce life span skills prepare for the marathon
3. Assist youth to learn how to extend wellness
4. Reality check: Have all of us done the prep work for the send off before the hand off?
