  • 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.

I guess he’s trying to make it somewhat light hearted, but it is not helpful and it is really distracting. I’m not looking for jokes or learning how he and ... more

From Trauma to Triumph: Parenting Adult Children

To reduce tension, help the child articulate feelings, and create a safe space where both parties can discuss next steps without defensiveness.
Speak From Clarity, Not Chaos: The Power of ‘Emptying Out’
Q: What does the emptying out process look like with older children?
It starts with teaching and practicing three levels of emotional intensity, ensuring the child is heard at a deeper level before any guidance is offered; the parent then acts as a consultant rather than a lecturer.
Speak From Clarity, Not Chaos: The Power of ‘Emptying Out’
Q: How can parents develop a common emotional language with adult children?
By avoiding assumptions about words and meanings, asking for definitions, and using language that matches the child's experience so they feel truly heard rather than talked at.
