Practical advice and hopeful encouragement for the tough yet rewarding transition to parenting grown kids. If you have an adult child, you know that parenting doesn't stop when a child reaches the age of 18. In many ways, it gets more complicated. Both your heart and your head are as involved as ever, whether your child lives under your roof or rarely stays in contact.
In Doing Life with Your Adult Children, parenting expert Jim Burns helps you navigate one of the richest and most challenging seasons of parenting. Speaking from his own personal and professional experience, Burns offers practical answers to questions such as these:
- Is it okay to advise my grown child?
- What's the difference between enabling and helping?
- What boundaries should I have if my child moves back home?
