Don’t back off of asking your kid to contribute to the business of being a family. For parents, it’s natural to use the term “they’re becoming independent.” Have you used this term before? But maybe your experience is the opposite – where you feel like your child is more and more DEPENDANT on you. Understanding the difference between independence and interdependence can make a significant difference in a relationship with your child.   Parents are always telling us they’re not sure how to adapt to the changes in their relationship with their child. Don’t wait till things are in crisis, you can start communicating now to take preventative measures, and helping them mature. If it feels hopeless, there is a solution.  Reach out or contact... -Visit the website Structured Therapeutic Housing in Cedar City | Outpatient Therapy Service (irongatetherapy.com) -Email at [email protected] or join the Facebook group, Parenting Your Adult Child -Call at 435-868-8391 -Message on Instagram @irongatetherapy or on LinkedIn
