Parenting the Young Adult Years

Maintaining Strong Family Ties and Healthy Relationships with Your Emerging Adult Children

By: Jill Merton

Narrated by: Charlotte Vaughan

Raising children can bring unexpected challenges and unique obstacles at any age—but young adulthood requires an entirely new set of parenting skills! Adults between 18 and 25 are experiencing a radical transformation that can be hard for their parents to keep up with.

From the decisions children make to the lifestyles they lead, many things can put a wedge in a parent–child relationship during this period. However, with the right set of tools, what could drive others apart can bring many families closer together!

Parenting the Young Adult Years brings parents a fresh perspective on building meaningful connections with their adult children. Through practical tips and realistic strategies for parents, this guide provides a foundational start to an inspiring new beginning!

From cover to cover, listeners will find

• communication tips rooted in respect alongside active listening strategies for more productive conversations.
• methods to foster independence and instill responsibility so young adults are more prepared for the real-life challenges ahead.
• guidance on how to support their children emotionally so they feel assured in their chosen career path.
• ways to navigate conflicts and setbacks that will lead to growth rather than harm, creating a bond that will only become stronger with time!

This leap from adolescence to adulthood can be scary for both parents and kids—but it doesn't have to be difficult!

Parenting doesn't stop once a child reaches adulthood; instead, it requires a new set of tools. This guide acts as an empowering instrument to ease the transition.

Parenting the Young Adult Years makes a perfect addition to any parent's shelf, supporting families to create meaningful bonds!

Parents need to listen to this

This audiobook was an interesting listen. I am not a parent, but I enjoyed listening to the author's thoughts on parenting young adults. I agree with the tips on balancing support with giving them space. It is important for parents to approach conversations with their kids without overstepping. As someone who has passed the young adult stage not too long ago (ok, maybe it was awhile ago depending on your perspective), I recommend this audiobook so you can get practical ideas to maintain a good and strong parent-adultchild relationship.

Encouraging

Conflict is inevitable, especially during this phase, but the way the book reframes it as an opportunity for growth is refreshing. I really enjoyed this.

Great content!

This audiobook provides great content for any parents that are approaching or in the young adult years. I appreciated the focus on relationships with the family and how to handle the relationship between parents and children. Lots of great tips and guidance on fostering independence, on top of providing the right amount of support. I'm sure everyone can take a few take aways from this one.
