Adult Parenting.
Young new parents have it easy. They have the internet, mommy and daddy blogs, research and books to inform their practises. Us old parents have nothing. Once children hit early-adulthood, it appears to me there is an assumption that the fly from the nest was an uneventful, natural take-off. There is a skill to parenting ADULT children in a way that honours your role but also honours their autonomy. It’s a skill that I have not yet mastered but hopefully I can share some strategies I have deployed.
