Empty Nest!!! Now What? Parenting Beyond Age 25
Manage episode 483868811 series 3528637
Parenting your adult children after 25 requires shifting from director to supporter as they become truly independent and often more receptive to your wisdom and experience.
• Children over 25 are more reflective and insightful about their own experiences
• Clear communication is essential when setting boundaries with adult children
• Support means encouraging good choices rather than enabling dependency
• When adult children become parents, offer advice only when requested
• Understand when your adult child needs a "bucket" (listening ear) versus a "toolbox" (solutions)
• If adult children move back home, establish clear expectations and boundaries immediately
• The empty nest phase requires acknowledging grief while embracing new opportunities
• Take time to rediscover yourself and your spouse when children leave home
