About this listen

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!

A transition

Going from parenting teens to young adults is almost as big of a transition as parenting children to teens, if you know what I mean. It's another phase of life, it's crazy. And I think that having a book like this, to understand the transition is super helpful! Even for a young adult, to get where parents are coming from.

A Lifesaver for Parenting My Adult Kids!

I didn’t realize how much I needed this book until I started reading it. Parenting the Young Adult Years gave me so many practical tips for navigating this new stage of life with my kids. The communication strategies have been a game changer—finally, our conversations feel productive and respectful instead of tense.

I also love how the book focuses on fostering independence while maintaining strong family ties. It’s helped me find a balance between letting my kids make their own decisions and still being there to support them emotionally. The advice is simple and relatable, and it’s made me feel more confident about my role as a parent during this stage. Highly recommend this to any parent feeling a bit lost with their young adults!

The communication tips were so eye-opening.

I was struggling to connect with my 21-year-old son. We argued a lot, and I felt like I was losing him. This book helped me step back and really listen to him. I started following the advice, and now we talk without fighting. It’s not easy, but I feel like we’re closer again. If you’re feeling lost as a parent, this book can really help.
