Parenting your Adult Child
Kids are taking way longer to grow up. More 30 year-olds have the maturity that 18 year-olds had 50 years ago.
Gary Chapman, author of the bestselling "The Five Love Languages", has co-written a new book called "Parenting your Adult Child". I highly recommend it.
I heard Chapman speak on the topic in Chicago earlier this year. Since then, *three sets* of parents have shared with me how they are having difficulty parenting their adult child(ren). Needless to say, I recommended "Parenting your Adult Child" by Chapman.
