Description
Almost 40% of young adults live with their parents or grandparents. This is
the highest percentage in 70 years. The last time young adults did life in
such proximity to their parents or grandparents was just before the
Depression. Then it was out of financial need. Today it seems there is a
whole different perspective on the part of the young adults. Dr. Chuck
Betters talks to Jim Burns, author of Doing Life with Your Adult Children
about some of the challenges for parents as they transition from parenting
children to parenting young adults. Jim gives practical advice and hopeful
encouragement for this tough yet rewarding transition.
If you have an adult child, you know that parenting doesn't stop when a
child reaches the age of eighteen. In many ways, it gets more complicated.
Both your heart and your head are as involved as ever, whether your child
lives under your roof or rarely stays in contact.
In this conversation and in his book, parenting expert Jim Burns helps us
navigate one of the richest and most challenging seasons of parenting.
Speaking from his own personal and professional experience, Burns offers
practical answers to questions often asked by parents of adult children.
