Segment 2, beginning at 25:26: Young adults are increasingly unprepared for the tasks of everyday living.
Cooking a meal, devising a budget, and driving are all examples of skills that young people don't necessarily learn, or put off learning, before going out into the world. Thus "adulting" classes have sprung up around the country to fill this learning gap. Dr. Wes Crenshaw reviewed some of the reasons kids are not learning self-care and how to better prepare them for venturing out on their own.
