ABCs of Parenting Adult Children

Jodianne Smith joins me today on our episode about Young Navigation. Jodianne Smith is 24 and she brings a unique perspective to the journey from being a teenager to becoming a young adult and how to navigate those challenges. You will not want to miss this episode.

Join us as we listen to Richard Jones of 2nd Start Recovery Program talk about his new book and the program he runs for young adults and their family. He has a unique program designed to help young adults and their families find healing and hope.

In episode 24 I talk with Valerie Sagheddu about the importance of setting boundaries for our adult children.

In Episode 23 I review our FaceBook Support group and two addiction support recovery programs called 2ndStart and Throughtheglass. I review the parenting journey document for people who might be interested in sharing their parenting journey with others.

On this episode I share two articles that I read on Medium.com that I thought was appropriate for our Facebook Parenting Support group as well as my podcast listeners here. I also talk about the Parenting Story Questionaire and went over the questions. We all have a unique story to tell that will encourage other parents.

Join us in Episode 21 as Roy Harmon and I talk about our parenting stories. I have known Roy and his family since 2015 and count him as a dear friend.

In episode 20 we talk about adult children and destructive behavior towards parents. Self car, compassion and grace are necessary for parents to find peace in the eye of the storm.

In episode 19 we will discover what it means to be an empty nester and the stages that parents will go through as they transition from being parents to being mentors.

Episode 18 covers Parenting Adult Children information I found at The Hartford Website. This information covers an entire range of information and some of this I have already reviewed on previous podcast episodes. There are several clickable links that you can review for further reference material. I hope you find it helpful.

Todays episode will examine what it means to experience the return of your young adults back home. Life is hard and sometimes the young adult needs a second chance in a safe place where they can reboot and learn how to start over. Towards the end of the episode you will hear my daughters dog barking as she returned home. Please forgive me for that.
