Adult children have evolving needs that differ from their childhood. Parents no longer have authority and should focus on understanding their adult children's values without preaching. Disconnection may arise, manifesting in brief phone calls or accusations. Parents may feel excluded when offering advice. It's essential to recognize that adult children are navigating their own unique challenges, and parents are not responsible for their choices, even if there is disappointment. The relationship dynamic changes significantly as children transition into adulthood.
Parents must acknowledge that adult children no longer rely on them for guidance as they develop their own values and life paths. This change challenges previous authority roles.
Adult children face their own challenges, and parents must understand that their responsibility does not extend to outcomes of these choices, even if disappointment occurs.
