    About this ebook

    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..

      Introduction

      Changes Observed

      During my lifetime, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of age groups from the very young to the not so young. Though many of my first opportunities included mostly younger ones, eventually I began working with adolescents and later adults. Many of these encounters have been in Sunday school or Christian school classrooms, other have been in more one-on-one situations. Places/situations include: Faith Baptist Church in Fowler, Colorado as an adolescent helper with the children; Panama City Christian School, Panama City, Florida as a second grade teacher; ESL teacher to university students and adult learners in San Jose, Costa Rica and Zaragoza, Spain; Children’s worker in various Spanish churches; Teacher at Evangelical Christian Academy in Madrid, Spain – elementary grades, some secondary classes, computer and special needs; Heritage Christian School, University Place, Washington – middle school homeroom, Spanish and Computers; Foster parent to a 4 ½ year old boy and an 11 year old boy; Volunteer Parenting Mentor at Care Net of Puget Sound for Hispanic clients; Teacher Consultant with Academy Northwest (accredited school / homeschool extension) for grades K-12; Teacher / Director Family Academy Online and Neurodevelopmentalist with Center for Neuro Development

      Over these years, I noticed many changes in those with whom I have worked. I have observed how parents, teachers, and Christian leaders deal with their charges. In this book, I have chosen to review four books and one article from men and a woman who have more concentrated experience with people we call adolescents, those in the process of becoming adults. I have also interviewed three moms who, with their husbands, have raised some children to adulthood. They are still raising children and have input in the lives of their adult children. I offer
