With You in the Weeds

Setting Boundaries With Your Adult Child


Listen Later

Are you learning the delicate dance of parenting adult children? So are we! As part of the Parenting in the Weeds series, John Tinnin and Lynn Roush explore how to set loving, effective boundaries that foster independence while maintaining a healthy relationship. They also discuss why setting boundaries with adult kids is easier said than done.


The key principles they cover are:

  • Boundaries are loving not controlling

  • Be a mentor, not a manager

  • Communicate clearly, consistently, and calmly

  • Offer grace, not guilt trips

  • Respect their autonomy

    As you watch your adult child make choices, and even mistakes, this episode will help you keep the big picture in mind and model open, honest communication with your kids no matter how old they are.
