About this audiobook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The parent of an adult child can expect to experience a variety of emotions, from bewilderment to anger, as their children violate their values and live differently from how they were raised. But your goal must remain the same: to help your children transition to responsible adulthood. #2 It can be difficult to shift your parenting role from daily involvement to more intermittent involvement, but it’s important to realize that this transition will be easier for your kids than it is for you. #3 You must let go of your old role as a parent, and embrace a new one that is not as hands-on or daily as before. This new adult-to-adult relationship with your kids requires firing yourself from your old job of day-to-day nurturing and being in control of them. #4 You are a consultant to your child. Your job is to be supportive and caring of them, and to mentor them when they ask for advice. Don’t be like the mother who told her daughter to put on her coat, because she was forty-five years old and could decide for herself when she needed a coat.
