About this listen
Gospel-Centered Framework for Navigating Relationships with Adult Children
As kids grow, so do the pains of parenthood. Patterns of miscommunication and resentment can cause damage over the years, leaving parents and adult children with a fractured relationship. Confused, hurt, and sometimes angry, moms and dads can struggle to know where to turn for help and where to look for hope.
With grace and empathy, author Gaye B. Clark comes alongside listeners bearing the weight of parenthood. Encouraging listeners to view themselves as image bearers of God first and parents second, Clark shifts focus to their relationship with Christ while showing how the relationship between parent and child can be a catalyst for understanding the gospel.
Loving Your Adult Children examines the fruit of the Spirit in relation to parenting adult children, offers study questions for reflection, and shows how walking with God is the best next step for struggling parents.
- Appeals to Parents of Adult Children: Empathetically addresses the pain and suffering associated with parenting.
- Lasting Gospel-Centered Hope: Shifts listeners' focus from their horizontal relationship with their children to their vertical relationship with Christ.
- Biblical Perspective: Discusses each fruit of the Spirit and how they apply to relationships with adult children.
- Reflective: Study questions provide tools to help listeners apply the book's content.

Story
More than 10 years after Parenting Your Adult Child was published, much has changed—including young adults themselves, as well as their parents. Economic upheavals, challenges to traditional values and beliefs, the phenomenon of over-involved "helicopter parenting"—all make relating to grown children more difficult than ever. Yet at the same time, being a parent of an adult child can bring great rewards.
