Parenting Adult Children

My wife, Diane (who, by the way, is my Editor), and I are the parents of adult children…not always an easy role – because you want to jump in there when you think your kids are making a mistake or you think you have a better way to do things. Jim Burns, who authored a book called “Doing Life With Your Adult Children”, says “I was surprised to discover that, compared with the literature available for the early years of parenting, there is relatively little available about the challenges of parenting an adult child. Yet we will spend more time as a parent of an adult child than we will as the parent of a young child and adolescent.” Something to think about and maybe share experiences with others along this road called life!
