Synopsis

<P>More than 10 years after <EM>Parenting Your Adult Child</EM> was published, much has changed - including young adults themselves, as well as their parents. Economic upheavals, challenges to traditional values and beliefs, the phenomenon of over-involved "helicopter parenting" - all make relating to grown children more difficult than ever. Yet at the same time, being a parent of an adult child can bring great rewards. This revised and updated version of Dr. Gary Chapman's and Dr. Ross Campbell's message will help today's parents explore how to really love their adult child in today's changing world. The book includes brief sidebars from parents of adult children and adult children themselves with their own stories. An online study guide will also be available.</P>

From AudioFile

Adult children who live away from their parents still need love, money, advice, babysitting, and the right amount of independence. In a most thoughtful guide on the subject, a psychiatrist and a Christian marriage counselor think through these challenges and give heartfelt advice. With uncommon reasonableness, they share the principles and practices necessary to help your children stay in touch with your guidance and to support them through challenges you can't help them with. The comprehensive approach includes marvelous examples of respectful communication, as well as technical advice on wills, loans, and other financial matters. The program is balanced, and both the abridgment and narration make the ideas flow without any hitches. T.W. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
