Our kids are now all out of the house in college or starting a career.  But we still get to spend a lot of time with them. We like hanging out with them and with their friends. I think it’s fair to say that their friends enjoy time with us too. It’s because we invest in them. How? First, we’re available to them. Just like with our own kids, we’re available when asked to coach them and help them with anything they need. Second, we’re open to doing what they want to do. Our adult children and their friends call all the shots when we’re with them…we just go with the flow. Listen to this week’s podcast episode on how to invest in your adult child’s friends.
