The Delayed Launch: Why So Many Adult Children Struggle With Independence - And What You Can Do - Softcover
Synopsis
The Delayed Launch
What happens when your child reaches adulthood—but adulthood doesn’t seem to reach them?
Across the country, parents are watching their adult children struggle with milestones that once seemed almost automatic: leaving home, finding meaningful work, driving, pursuing education, developing relationships, managing responsibilities, and building an independent life.
For some young adults, the transition simply takes longer. For others, anxiety, depression, executive-functioning difficulties, social isolation, excessive gaming, low motivation, developmental differences, or fear of failure can turn the transition to adulthood into a prolonged period of uncertainty.
In The Delayed Launch, Christopher Gregory, PhD, examines what may be happening beneath the surface.
Rather than dismissing struggling young adults as lazy, entitled, immature, or unmotivated, Gregory explores the psychological, developmental, social, and cultural forces that can make the road to independence far more complicated than it appears.
Moving from adolescence through the emerging-adult years, The Delayed Launch helps readers understand the challenges surrounding:
• Motivation and executive functioning
• Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
• Gaming, technology, and social isolation
• Employment and educational readiness
• Driving and other independence milestones
• Relationships, sexuality, and social development
• Family expectations, boundaries, and enabling
• Uneven and asynchronous development
• Knowing when slower development becomes a serious concern
• Building realistic, gradual pathways toward independence
Most importantly, this book addresses one of the hardest questions families face:
How do you support a struggling young adult without doing so much for them that you unintentionally prevent them from growing?
Drawing from psychology, education, behavioral practice, and years of working with adolescents, young adults, and families, Gregory offers a compassionate framework for understanding delayed independence while providing practical strategies for moving forward.
Launching late does not mean never launching.
Sometimes the path toward adulthood simply takes longer than anyone expected.
