Couch Chat: Kids Are Staying Kids…. Longer

Your kids aren’t growing up as fast as you think. Today’s teens don’t really care about finally getting a driver’s license… scoring a six-pack with a fake ID… or going out on dates.

A new study says, they’re trying to stay kids longer. It goes so far to say today’s 18 year old is basically a 15 year old in the 70s or 80s. One of the researchers says, it’s not because of parenting… it’s the fact that people are living longer, the economy, and the internet.

Are teens slowing down a good thing or should we be concerned? What does this mean for mom and dad?
