About this listen

Raising children can bring unexpected challenges and unique obstacles at any age—but young adulthood requires an entirely new set of parenting skills! Adults between 18 and 25 are experiencing a radical transformation that can be hard for their parents to keep up with.

From the decisions children make to the lifestyles they lead, many things can put a wedge in a parent–child relationship during this period. However, with the right set of tools, what could drive others apart can bring many families closer together!

Parenting the Young Adult Years brings parents a fresh perspective on building meaningful connections with their adult children. Through practical tips and realistic strategies for parents, this guide provides a foundational start to an inspiring new beginning!

From cover to cover, listeners will find

  • communication tips rooted in respect alongside active listening strategies for more productive conversations.
  • methods to foster independence and instill responsibility so young adults are more prepared for the real-life challenges ahead.
  • guidance on how to support their children emotionally so they feel assured in their chosen career path.
  • ways to navigate conflicts and setbacks that will lead to growth rather than harm, creating a bond that will only become stronger with time!

This leap from adolescence to adulthood can be scary for both parents and kids—but it doesn't have to be difficult!

Parenting doesn't stop once a child reaches adulthood; instead, it requires a new set of tools. This guide acts as an empowering instrument to ease the transition.

Parenting the Young Adult Years makes a perfect addition to any parent's shelf, supporting families to create meaningful bonds!

Strong advice

We seem to not pass this information down from generation to generation, and I don't know why. Spending time studying how to raise a family is a great use of energy. I learned a lot. Excellent narrator too.

Helpful Guide towards raising Responsible Adults.

I am not a parent yet but somehow I need to understand how it should be done properly when I get the chance to, that"s why I really liked this book. Adulthood is really difficult that's why as a parent it is really important to guide and help our kids to navigate their ways through adulthood without compromising their happiness. Making them responsible with their life choices and not judging them but instead love and respect them and their dcisions.

Parents need to listen to this

This audiobook was an interesting listen. I am not a parent, but I enjoyed listening to the author's thoughts on parenting young adults. I agree with the tips on balancing support with giving them space. It is important for parents to approach conversations with their kids without overstepping. As someone who has passed the young adult stage not too long ago (ok, maybe it was awhile ago depending on your perspective), I recommend this audiobook so you can get practical ideas to maintain a good and strong parent-adultchild relationship.
