I think the most important thing is to recognize when one's children are transitioning from childhood into adulthood, and to provide them the means to do so in a good state. Education, contraception, social connections for job-hunting, shelter, emotional support, and so forth.

Quite honestly, the way USians just kick people out at 18 is arbitrary, and doesn't ensure their kids can become their best selves. Humans are no different from plants: existing without what is needed and helpful, just ends up letting nature take its worse course.
