A parent can test whether their adult child is ready to live alone with a 60-day trial period where the kid manages everything while the parent stays available but doesn't step in unless asked. Before it starts, have a conversation about what makes them nervous and what they're confident about.
And the last thing that you can do is give them 60 days to see if they have everything down. You can tell them, listen, for the next 2 months, I want you to run your life as if you're living by yourself. I'll be here, but I'm not going to step in unless you specifically ask me. That way, that gives them 60 days and you 60 days to see if they actually are ready to be on their own. And a few weeks before moving day, you can finally sit down and say, listen, I am so proud of you. You've accomplished so much. What part are you most nervous about, about living on your own? And what part are you most confident about?
