4 Things I've Learned About Parenting Adult Children
As your children become adults, a new chapter in your parenting life begins. To help you along this journey, I’d like to share some guidelines I’ve learned along the way. First, be involved but not intrusive. This may mean giving your grown kids general advice rather than specific solutions. In this way, they’re able to grow in making their own decisions. Second, be caring but not crowding. Often, we find ourselves asking our adult children a millions questions…who they’re with, where they are, and how late they’ll be out.
