6. Basic Household Management
While you may be tempted to let your teen off the hook when it comes to chores, it's essential that your teen know how to manage a household. Whether he lives in a dorm room or he rents an apartment, he'll need to know some basic skills.
Teach your teen basic meal preparation skills. Make sure he knows how to perform simple repairs--as well as when to call in professional help. Additionally, don't send him on his way until he knows how to do his laundry and sanitize a bathroom.
