I believe that if you've given your child opportunities all along to be responsible that they will know and want to move out when they think it's right for them. Besides, you learn from failing to be more successful so I am not afraid that they will fail because my kids will know they will always have a nest to come home to if things don't work out. The whole purpose of raising them is to let them go and make their way.

I personally believe the kids are not fully prepared to move out between ages 18 to 21. They may think they ready to prove themselves out in the real world, but not with much success. I think that ages 22 to 24, they have grown strong wings and can and will have a much higher success ratio.
