55% of the respondents claimed that it also helps them maintain a better relationship with their parents.
However, asking a kid to leave the family home is not something parents should spring on their children.
There arethings teenagers should knowso they can successfully transition into adulthood.
Perhaps even more important is the emotional and mental preparation.
And thats not just about preparing them for the move by discussing it ahead of time.
Experts also note that its important to teach teenagers to set goals.
The mom and the dad should discuss decisions like this together.
