Parenting Adult Children

When your children make choices that are contrary to what you taught them, the natural tendency is to get angry but often it is in those moments that they need us the most.    Coach Bonnie Lyman is on a mission to help every parent who struggles in their relationships with their adult children. Bonnie so wisely stated, “[As an adult parent] you really have one assignment. It’s just to love them.” The question is, how exactly do you love them in the ways they need? Bonnie shares the beliefs you need so that your relationship with them can grow - even though it’s different than how it was when they were little.

It’s not easy, but it can be done and love can always be present as you drop the expectations and release your children of being the keepers of your happiness.
