More than 10 years after Parenting Your Adult Child was published, much has changed - including young adults themselves, as well as their parents. Economic upheavals, challenges to traditional values and beliefs, the phenomenon of over-involved "helicopter parenting" - all make relating to grown children more difficult than ever. Yet at the same time, being a parent of an adult child can bring great rewards. This revised and updated version of Dr. Gary Chapman's and Dr. Ross Campbell's message will help today's parents explore how to really love their adult child in today's changing world. The book includes brief sidebars from parents of adult children and adult children themselves with their own stories. An online study guide will also be available. No library descriptions found. |

I don't have any of those problems, but still found it very interesting in understanding better how younger people think, and why the traditional model of the empty next is no longer so appropriate. There was advice in dealing with behaviour problems, with boyfriends/girlfriends, with in-laws, with money... and one about what we leave our children as legacies, not just financial but moral and spiritual too.
The book is very well written, with anecdotes and clear advice. My only quibble was that almost every page was advice about going to counselling to resolve problems - but for some that may, of course, be appropriate.
All in all, highly recommended to anyone with adult (or nearly adult) children, particularly if you are having any problems with them. Written from a Judaeo-Christian perspective, but relevant to anyone. (
