Get Your Strategy On
That’s Quotable [Melanie Parker]
Nov152006 Filed under: That's Quotable Author: Tony Morgan"Parents have been very involved in managing their son or daughter’s lives. They’re the most managed generation in history. Parents think they’re helping their son or daughter but there are consequences. At some point they’ll have to be more independent, but that breakaway will occur later than in past generations. It’s now happening in their mid-20s."
Melanie Parker, executive director of career services at the University of Central Florida as quoted on Forbes.com (November 9, 2006)

Thanks for the quote, Tony. I wonder how many parents are okay with over-managing their kids? Too often we don’t see the consequences coming until they hit us.
