Making the Transition to Parenting Your Adult Child with Darlene Brock

As parents all over the world are sending their babies off to college, again or for the first time, many are feeling some angst about navigating their new role- parenting an adult child. This sometimes difficult relationship phase isn’t talked about as much as the toddler phase, the teen phase or even the grandparent phase.

I brought Darlene Brock- author of Raising Great Girls – on this episode because she is a woman of wisdom who has also launched her two adult daughters.

In this episode we discuss:

1. The new parenting role- how discipline changes into allowing natural consequences

2. What every newly launched young adult needs from their parent

3. How to navigate when they make decisions that you don’t agree with

4. How to have healthy boundaries (money and emotional)

5. What now- your new role and next chapter in your own book.
