How do we stay connected to our kids once they’re grown? In this episode of Mentored, Carson, Chuck, and Ingrid explore the often-delicate art of communicating with adult children. Parenting doesn’t end when our children leave home—it simply changes shape. Together, we look at how to move from directing to relating, from teaching to listening, and from control to mutual respect.

Carson shares practical wisdom from his own life and mentoring work: how to build bridges instead of walls, how to offer guidance without slipping into lectures, and how to balance honesty with grace. You’ll hear encouragement for those moments when conversations feel strained, and reminders of the hope we carry as parents who long to see our children flourish.

If you’ve ever wrestled with what to say—or not say—to your grown son or daughter, this episode offers both reassurance and direction. Tune in, and be reminded that with humility, patience, and love, a meaningful connection is always possible.
