Launch Your Adult Child Parent Coaching

Set boundaries, hold expectations, support accountability

You are a parent of an adult child who has challenges achieving the tasks of life needed to move towards independence, and you feel frustrated, lost and confused.

Parenting complex adult children is tough in many ways. We question our adult child's choices, and we doubt our parenting. We are puzzled by our adult child's difficulties with solving problems and being flexible.  

We want to interact with them in an affirming manner that is supportive towards their independence. At the same time, it's rocky to navigate our adult child living with us, or being financially dependent on us. This is isolating, especially when family, friends, teachers or acquaintances do not understand our challenges.

Does this sound like you?

• I worry that unless I wake my son for work, he’ll be late and lose his job. How’s he going to cope on his own?
• My adult daughter can’t seem to keep track of her money. What’s my role in helping her to manage this?
• He sits around all day playing video games. When is he going to do get around to being more productive and what can I do to support him?
• I can’t get her to help out with household chores. She thinks I’m taking advantage of the fact that she lives with us. 
• He hasn’t been able to find steady work and he just got fired again. What can we do to help him?
• How do I get her to listen without coming across like I’m interfering?
• He’s saving his money but only because he’s living with us. I feel like we’re stuck.
• I’m starting to feel resentful of other families who have kids her age who are off on their own now.
• I feel like I’m failing as a parent.
