Becoming A Wise Parent For Your Grown Child: How to Give Love and Support Without Meddling

Grown or not, they’re still your kids – and sometimes you think they need your help, even though they don’t want to act like a parent anymore.  Other times, they want something from you – but you want them to stop acting like children and get on with their lives.

This warm and practical guide gives parents a step-by-step approach to handling the many problems that can arise with their adult children:  How to relate to a grown child who has chosen a lifestyle radically different from your own; How to establish boundaries and remain close; How to give feedback, not unwanted advice; When to speak up and when to shut up about the was your son or daughter is treating his or her own children.

Filled with lively real world examples and challenging self-assessment questions, it shows you how to gain some distance from the issues you are facing, put your adult children’s problems in perspective, and speak up or take action in a way that will strengthen your relationship with them.
