A step-by-step system for moving your adult child toward independence — without simply handing them money.
Description:
The check feels like help. It rarely is. Unstructured financial support solves this month's problem, removes the pressure that drives change, and quietly turns a parent into a safety net.
The Launch Protocol gives you a different approach. Instead of giving money, you'll learn how to structure it — so that every dollar you contribute moves your child one step closer to standing on their own.
Three working models. A clear plan for introducing the structure. Worksheets to build your own version. Written for parents who are tired of writing checks that don't change anything.
What's Inside:
- The three structures that actually launch: matching fund, milestone bonus, savings challenge
- How to choose the right structure for your situation
- The five decisions to make before sitting down with your child
- A conversation framing that works without sounding like an ultimatum
- Three worksheets: Launch Protocol Plan, Milestone Builder, and the signed Family Agreement
- The exact rules to hold when your child pushes back in month one
A check ends a problem for a month. A structure ends it for good.
