Becoming Adults in the 21st Century: A Close Look at Parenting Advice

By Maggie Dail

Have you noticed that it takes longer for children to become adults than before? Social scientists now talk about early, mid and late adolescence and it takes up to 15 years for what used to take about 3 years. Why is that? What can a parent do to help their children become mature adults? Maggie Dail reviews four books and an article on the subject plus interviews parents of children in the process of becoming adults. Learn how other parents have successfully led their children to adulthood. Learn what they have learned from their mistakes. Learn how to begin the process if your children are still young. Dail and those she consults, begin with the premise that God’s Word, the Bible, is the definitive word on parenting and any other endeavor in life.

Maggie Dail

Maggie was raised in a military family and moved around much during her childhood. She was raised in a Christian home. After high school she earned a BA from Faith Baptist Bible College in Christian Education, Missions and Bible in 1972. She earned a BA in Elementary Education in 1980 from Cedarville College and an MA in Special Education from Adams State College in 1989. She has lived in Spanish speaking countries (Costa Rica, Spain) for around 17 years as a military dependent, student, and missionary schoolteacher. She is certified in the State of Washington to teach: Elementary K-8; Special Education K-12; Reading K-12 and Spanish K-12. She maintains similar certifications with Association of Christian Schools International. During her years as a teacher in schools and working with homeschoolers she has searched for more tools to help students who have learning struggles. Maggie found that the neurodevelopmental approach provides the help that solve students' learning difficulties, not just accommodate for them. Maggie is a member of the International Christian Association of Neurodevelopmentalists and is a certified Neurodevelopmentalist at the Associate Professional level..
