Putting it all together: Middle and Late Childhood
As we all know, LIFE HAPPENS. Roll the dice to see what happens during years 6-12 of your child’s life.
- 1,2= a GOOD change happens. You can either add $10,000 to your income, add an additional support, or reduce your child’s health concerns (severe goes to mild health concern, mild health concerns become a healthy child). Based on your life circumstances, pick the one that will benefit you the most.
- 3,4= no dramatic change happens
- 4,5= a BAD change happens. You can either lose $10,000 to your income, lose a support, or increase your child’s health concerns (severe becomes extreme and needs hospitalization, mild becomes severe, or health becomes mild health concern). Based on your life circumstances, pick the one that will impact you the least.
