Like every good driver, even good parents have blind spots.

Sometimes the most well-meaning of efforts to parent better than they were parented can gradually promote a disconnect that affects relations between parents and adult children.

It's tragic that parents' good intentions can lead to such surprising and disappointing results, in many cases.

In this two-episode series (Part 2 will be in Episode 126), Tina explains the idea of "do-over" parenting, and how it can create unexpected trouble in the parent-child relationship.

For information on how to repair the parent-adult child relationship, read Tina's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child.
