No one taught me how to parent a teenager. I'm learning how to let mine go.

My daughter is 19 and I still feel like time went too fast. It's her last year at home before she moves away and starts her own adult life. Letting go of her while staying connected is my new challenge. I make her 'practice' being an adult. It's made me realise the importance of supporting our teens to "practice" adulthood. Even something as simple as ringing up the doctor to book an appointment can be a challenge for some young people. As adults, we take these things for granted. We know the process of booking an appointment and what the receptionist wants us to tell them, but our teens don't. And Gen Z seems particularly allergic to talking on the phone.
