It can be nerve-wracking, launching a young adult. You're still a parent, but your child has reached the age of majority. Suddenly, your influence is legally nil. But your attachment is no less strong. How can you continue to help and support a young adult if they no longer seek your counsel? What can (or should) you do if you think they're making poor decisions? In this episode, Tina normalizes the emotional challenge of parenting young adults, while inspiring you to be there for your adult child(ren) in a way that's appropriate to this new stage of their lives. You may not be able to guide your adult child's path from this point forward, but you can still have a positive continuing influence as a supportive parent. And remember that everything you've ever taught them, and the personal example you've set, will live on in your child's life.
