Eighteen years, maybe twenty - that's about all the time parents will have to prepare their kids to be happy, responsible, independent, peace-loving citizens of the world into which they were born. That might seem like a reasonably long time on the day that the little bundle of joy comes home from the hospital - but in the scheme of things, it's really just a blink. "101 Things You Should Do Before Your Kids Leave Home" is packed with ideas and advice designed to help parents prepare their children for life out into the world, while making sure that both parents and kids enjoy every precious moment. Examples are: Plan a "tour de neighborhood" bike race; Serve in a soup kitchen; Talk to your kids about drugs, sex, and alcohol; Climb a mountain, write your names at the summit; Teach your kids to change a diaper; Thank a soldier; and, Tell the family stories. Some suggestions are fun, some challenging, and others practical, but all are things that will inspire parents with ideas for family time before their kids leave the nest.
