3 Parenting Shifts to Make as Your Kids Grow Up

Описание: What happens when your child no longer needs you—but still needs you?


For years, you’ve guided, protected, corrected, and directed. You’ve worked hard to practice to intentionally parent your infant, toddler, teenager. But when your child becomes an adult, everything changes.


And here’s the mistake many busy parents make:
 We don’t adjust.


We keep controlling instead of influencing.
 We keep fixing instead of coaching.
 We hold on to being needed instead of embracing being chosen.


If we don’t make this shift, we risk damaging the very relationship we worked so hard to build.


In this episode of Parents Making Time, Anthony and Jennifer share a real-life story about their daughter navigating a major financial decision, and the difficult but necessary step they made of letting go. They unpack what intentional parenting looks like when your child is 18, 19, or beyond.


Because parenting adult children isn’t about letting go of love.
 It’s about changing how love looks.


BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• The 3 essential parenting shifts that help busy parents stay connected to adult children
• How to move from control to influence without losing your voice
• Why being chosen by your adult child is more powerful than being needed

If you want to build lasting family relationships without creating resentment, this episode will help you become the kind of parent your adult children still want to call, just because.
