  • Boundaries grow out of a clean ask

    I was so grateful for the chance to talk to James about creating boundaries with your grown children. Boundaries can get messy, so it was fun to talk about strategies to be clear about the boundaries that we set. It was also fun to talk about taking vacations with your grown children. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed talking with James.

  • Good Parenting Wisdom

    This podcast is very helpful and encouraging for us who have adult children. My eldest has a very toxic relationship with her estranged father. The episode with Nancy Pickard really inspired me and also saddened me because it reminded me of what my eldest and her father will lose if her father won’t grow up and take the advice given in this episode. This show does a great job of providing resources for parents who have adult children. It’s a much needed topic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Healthy Boundaries, Stronger Bonds with Rebecca Mullen
Q: Tell me about the four-step apology that actually rebuilds trust, not just ends the fight.
Rebecca recommends saying “I'm sorry,” naming the behavior, acknowledging how it affected the other person, and stating a specific plan for doing better.
Healthy Boundaries, Stronger Bonds with Rebecca Mullen
Q: Can you talk about the transition period as teenagers turn into young adults and the transition parents need to make?
Rebecca says parents can prepare for adult independence from early childhood by respecting each child as an individual, building their ability to handle adversity, and eventually treating them as adults with agency over their own lives.
Unlocking Your Parenting Superpower: The Power of Words with Jody Hill
Q: What is the core idea behind the power of words in parenting?
Words shape a child's belief about themselves, which forms their identity and guides future actions; parents have a 'superpower' that can build life or cause harm, so they should speak with life-giving intent.
Navigating the Next Chapter: Parenting Adult Children with Wisdom and Love with Emily Jacobson
Q: What is one quick practice parents can use to stay connected in tense moments with their adult children?
Use a deliberate pause and breathing to regulate your nervous system, then re-engage with curiosity rather than escalation to keep the conversation constructive.
Navigating the Next Chapter: Parenting Adult Children with Wisdom and Love with Emily Jacobson
Q: Emily, how do you frame this transition for parents who feel they've lost their primary role when their kids become adults?
Emphasize that the goal is to shift from controlling to guiding, recognizing that brains aren't fully developed until the mid-20s, and that boundaries and safety can still exist within a collaborative, respectful relationship.
